You’re right, the sense of value is ridiculous. $200,000 Australian - that’s over £98,000 sterling! Thats as much as I make working hard for four YEARS - so why bother to work hard? Why don’t I just go and make a public idiot of myself for a month? Well actually, because I have some dignity and morality, but there’s an awful lot of people who will make the connection and act accordingly.
