They are not native to Western Australia and are considered a pest.
They’re a damn pest here too, aggressive little buggers.
Not here.We hang apples out for them. 
They go for about a thousand dollars here
I assume there are breeders there.
If so, then such a high price cannot really be justified.
The price ranges from US$400 to US$2000
There are a couple of bird aviary places which breed parrots in a place called homestead which is like farms and agriculture here in South Florida but cheapest I have ever seen lorikeets is a thousand .
There are wild parakeets , Quakers , love birds and few other parrots established here but not lorikeets .
The established birds have all by now gone back to the wild colors in other words parakeets , love birds , etc nothing colorful at all just a dull green .
We had but no longer a breeding pair of Macaws in my community on a high palm tree with a hole and they certainly were colorful but sadly they took off last year .
Though this contradicts my post , most wild parrots are in South Florida and speaking to countless back yard bird breeders no one has ever mentioned lorikeets .
" Florida boasts 17 species of Psittaciformes (the phylogenetic order which includes parrots, parakeets, macaws, cockatoos, lovebirds, lorikeets, budgerigars, and other relatives). This is an astonishing number, considering there are 21 species of feral parrots in the North American continent, meaning you can find 81% of all wild parrots in Florida!‘’
