Why is it so expensive to hire a Hummer limo in Australia compared to The States?

Firstly the vehicle by the time it asrrives in Australia is roughly twice the price it is in America. So for example our last Hummer cost us $323,000. At the factory door in America the same car costs $168,000. Secondly it is usage. In America a limo can be used for around 4-5 hours a day 7 days a week.
