I'm in Australia and buy through MtGox, the middleman is technocash I think. MtGox supply the details to use the middleman to get money from the bank into the exchange. The middleman takes just less than a 4% cut and then MtGox takes its 0.6% cut.
So going though MtGox is cheaper than this service. 7.5% is huge! I will not move from MtGox until a competing service can get my AUD to Bitcoin for less than a 4% cut.

Indeed, MtGox deposits via their partner Technocash are cheaper, however, we would point out that it's not really a direct comparison because they differ greatly in terms of speed, convenience and anonymity. Depositing via Technocash takes a minimum three business days, you need to have a verified MtGox account which is no small feat - refer the unforgettable analogy posted by QuestionAuthority: "Gox is slow and pretty much want to do a pap smear on your wife before they deal with you."
Some people highly value the pseudo-anonymity of bitcoin so MtGox transfers does not make sense in this regard. Other people, like first-time users of bitcoin, or very occasional low-volume users, might be reluctant to go through the rigmarole of setting up a Gox account just to save what will turn out to be a couple of dollars. Or there may be occasions even for regular bitcoin users where the three-business-day delay is particularly inconvenient.
Having said that - I see your point. For long term established regular users of bitcoin it makes sense to go through the one-time process to register with MtGox, and that's perfectly fine with us because it's not really our target demographic - all in all, we believe there are certain times for certain situations when it makes most sense to use our service.

Hi Clownius,
To address some of your questions:
MtGox deposits via domestic australian transfer will cost you 3.95% and generally take about three business days to see the money in your MtGox account. It will then cost you another 0.6% trade fee to actually buy bitcoins with the deposited funds. And yes - you must be verified.
Spendbitcoins accept cash deposits at bank branches and will charge 10%. They have been operating for a very long time and are indeed trustworthy.
Bitinnovate accept cash deposits at bank brances and will charge 7.9%. I haven't used them personally but have heard enough testimonials from friends to say they too are trustworthy.
and finally there is my service that has just recently launched: BuyBitcoinAustralia.com where you can purchase bitcoins from us via domestic australian transfer. We charge 10%fee and deliver your bitcoins instantly after you confirm the transfer. Currently we support CBA, Westpac, Bankwest, Bendigo and Suncorp bank, so if you have an internet banking account with any of these institutions you can buy bitcoins from us and have them in your wallet in just a few minutes.
cheers
Sam

for the moment - no 
we intend to bring over-the-counter deposits online sometime in the future at which point we will be in a better position to level our pricing directly to beat our competitors.
However, we are offering an instant and online method of buying bitcoins which is quite different from bitinnovate, so essentially, no, we're not in competition with them (or anyone) since no one else is offering the same thing

I don't really get the big fuss about the printed gun that's been doing the rounds on news websites lately...
Obviously the 3D printer is unable to produce the complex parts of a handgun... Clearly it can't just print gunpowder for you, or a mechanical part such as a spring... it can only print the 'static' parts like the outer casing, handle, barrel etc.
In that sense, we have always been able to make a home-made gun - all the 3d printer has achieved is to speed up / automate that process..
But 3D-printer or not, with a little bit of material (sheet metal, balsa wood, fibreglass, plastic or wateva) some basic tools and a whole lot of dedication, one could always produce the static 'chassis' that makes up a handgun.

I'd like to know your feedback on this site
The site is good in terms of simplicity/minimalist styling.
The content could be improved by differentiating each item in the list rather than using the rather bland moniker "faucet x"
eg. add another column with a bit of information about each link such as
Faucet 1 ..... bitcoins daily
Faucet 2 ..... bitcoins for viewing ads
Faucet 3 ..... bitcoins for participating in surveys
etc...
