Oh dear Daily mail? 

Yes things cost more in richer countries. 

Though a lot of the world would think 1.60 for fuel with the purchasing power of Aussie's was a bargain

Well thanks for your willingness to pay through the nose so we can get it cheaper here.

Um, no matter how you slice it...GDP or GNI, Australia falls way behind many in "richer countries" status, including US. And you know that $1.60 is per litres right? So roughly $82 to fill 30 gallons in US to $180 to fill 30 gallons in Australia. Yep, huge bargain.

Can you clarify the "voting against your own interests" comment?
