There are a few different options.

Air New Zealand from YVR, SFO, LAX
Air Canada from YVR
UA from LAX and SFO
QA from SFO and LAX

Your best bet is to likely find a flight to sydney, then use one of the local carriers to get to Perth.

Example UA YYC-SFO-SYD = $1940 Jul20,2008 Aug10, 2008 (same price LAX orig)
QZ YYC -->-> SYD - $2009 same dates (1649 if leave from LAX)
NZ LAX-SYD = $1351 - use Westjet to get to LAX.

I personally would choose Air NewZealand as they will have the nicest accomodations, but a longer transfer (will be nice as the LAX-SYD flight is a long one).

After taxes, UA might be and easier on the transfer side but the aircraft and ammenities wont be as nice as Air NewZealand

Also remember July is the high travel season for US originating passengers hence the high airfare.
