"In future I expect Australian businesses to discount freight costs when it comes to base for mark up."

To a certain extent but in recent times we've found a few alternatives. The UPS/DHL/Fedex mob have interesting, to say the least, prices down here as well.

Not much anti-trust oversight downunder is there?
