Australia's passport is stupidly overpriced for some pretty basic tech
It now costs over $400 to get a new or renewed passport, the most expensive passport in the world. Why?
For $400, you can get a pretty decent (though not mind-blowing) cheap smartphone. You could get a pair of AirPods Pro, which will soon double as a hearing aid.
Or, you could renew your Australian passport.
David Flynn over at Executive Traveller – who incidentally has forgotten more than I will ever know about international travel – covered the latest passport price increase earlier this week.
