Just wondering, why is it illegal?

For exactly this reason. If an item has an RRP of $10, but you mostly sell them for $5, it's deceptive and misleading to advertise "was $10, now $x"

Not sure about that but I assume the Australian laws only apply to businesses registered in with the Australian regulator. So amazon.com.au, if there's such a thing, is probably subject to the Australian consumer laws, but not amazon.com. I'm only guessing here, though

In Quebec, it's legal onlyif itwas really sold for that price i the past or if the manufacturer publishes the bigger price as the MSRP.
