I don't know about Australia and New Zealand, but in my case (Netherlands) the problem is not exchange rates but CL itself. I don't mind the exchange rates at all. But go to their webstore and take a look at the different prices with different countries: Germany: Poser4 costs 290 Euro which is about $250. Netherlands: Poser4 costs 360 Euro which is about $310 Zimbabwe: Poser4 costs $250. US: $219 Does CL dislike people from the Netherlands?
