Here in little old NZ, mobile data can be had for $49.95 for 1GB or $59.95 for 2GB and you get speeds as fast as the network will deliver. Well in Aussie it aint that simple.

Telstra have recently launched 'Next G' which is their brand for HSDPA. Check this out for price confusion:

G Fast = limited (crippled) to 256kbps (GF)
Super G Fast = up to 1.5Mbps (SGF)

You can choose from time based or volume based plans. Simple?

Time ~
10 hours SGF = A$29.95 p/month
20 hours SGF = A$49.95 p/month

Volume ~
1GB GF = A$79.95 p/month
400MB SGF = A$79.95 p/month
1GB SGF = A$109.95 p/month
3GB SGF = A$199.95 p/month

All plans in NZ are Super G Fast and are approximately A$67.49 cheaper for the 1GB plan. By my estimation that would place NZ well ahead of Aussie in the OECD for mobile data pricing and speeds.
