--- Quote ---The survey noted that Melbourne just pips Sydney for the expense of a daily business trip, at $US760 ($708) a day, with Sydney on $US627. The trip rate covers one night's accommodation in a hotel, a two-course meal, a simple meal, two taxi journeys, a drink in a hotel bar and an international daily newspaper.

That's not cost of living, that's cost of visiting. Very different. The whole article is predicated on the fact that the Australian dollar is really strong at the moment compared to other currencies, so of course if you're visiting from another country and converting your money into Australian dollars everything's going to seem super-expensive. But if you're living here and earning Australian dollars it's a completely different picture.
