The disparity of prices between Australia and other overseas markets, chiefly the US, was raised again when Adobe released its latest Creative Suite. The software was heralded for intuitive pricing, which now includes a monthly subscription option, but it is more expensive for users in Australia than those in the US.

MP Ed Husic, who is a member of investigating committee, heralded the probe as a landmark move to call firms to account for the pricing.
