Poor value and poor coverage as compared to the UK market. 

Perhaps certain other countries are lacking, such as China and India. Haven't checked.

This isn’t the UK and you cannot compare one market with another for the same reason that even taking exchange rates into account you can buy return airline tickets from the UK to Aus cheaper than Aus to the UK.

I will not even start to discuss the difference in labor rates between here and the UK or Aus.

What on earth are you going on about? You analogies are way off base.

 

This is a product for Inbound tourists, meant to be purchased online before travel. So in direct competition for a policy bought in your home country.

 

So if your home country offers better policies at better prices, what is the incentive to purchase?

Why pay more for a product that offers less?

 

Difference in labor(sic) rates? What has that to do with the price of fish?
