You can get a TLD name (.com/net/org) for $30 *Australian* per year
here...why would you pay US$20/year?


And I am presuming the "$300" is for a name in the Australian namespace
(.com.au/net.au/org.au)? Which is a different kettle of fish all together.
Cost price is $137.50 per 2 years though...so more expensive than a
.com/net/au...but I've only ever seen people like Web Central try and charge
$300 for one.


You need to do some shopping around methinks.  :-)
