No AUD doesn't factor into this after we purchase Steam credit we pay more to convert out AUD into USD, Example when I get a $50 Steam wallet code from a game store it costs me $55, And I believe that is because of the conversion rates, Plus USD AUD conversions wouldn't explain huge price gaps like $60 (Original price of Bioshock Infinite)

As a fellow Aussie I think $19 is pretty good for the bundle, I'd probably buy it if I didn't already own the first game. Especially considering it's the same price as buying Bioshock Infinite by itself. Consider it this way, you're getting Bioshock and Bioshock 2 at 75% off ($4.99 each), you're then getting Infinite for $9. Sounds like a good deal to me.
At the end of the day, people will always complain that X country gets a better deal or price on a game, but most of the time we get pretty good deals anyway. Some of the best games I've ever played I've gotten for a fiver in a Steam sale. Sure, we all love getting good deals that shave a few extra dollars off the price, but I don't see much point in complaining about things you can't change.

Don't by from the over inflated prices on Steam.
I ended up making a site which was as a result of the price discrimination (I'm Aussie) too..

As I know, lowest prices in Russia store. For example BioShock 2 price without discount is 7.55 USD, but there is no Bioshock bundle.

Im from Australia and no longer have this problem since I have a nice stockpile of TF2 keys I can trade for. I also have $50 worth of Steam Wallet that I have gained over the last year. It comes in handy when the prices between regions are the same. Just bought YDKJ bundle for $5!

I wanna buy stuff on the steam store but the Australian store's games are more expensive than the US store's games and they both use $USD. =/
It won't let me use my steam wallet funds to buy off the US store either.
EDIT:
Would you guys pay $19USD for the Bioshock bundle??
