just quoted on a tv show
1.9 million nzers shop online overseas every year, spending an average of over $1600 each....
i'd imagine Aussies are similar , probably a bit less due to a higher aussie dollar...

A mere 1.9 people out of 4 million isn't much to worry about. They are only spending $3040 after all.

Haha that's better!

Makes sense. Australia would be an even higher proportion I reckon. Stronger dollar = cheaper overseas purchasing.
