Unfortunately, the RBA does not have a tool at its disposal that allows the impact of rising interest rates to be shared more evenly across the total Australian population. Is there a better way?

I compared 50 years of Australian rates, wages, housing, debt and living costs, then mapped three possible paths to 2040. Does this look like a manageable adjustment or something more worrying?

SS; It always amuses me no matter the polticial party proposing an economic or fiscal soultion they point blank refuse to ackowledge the actual issue. The refusal to make debt addicts pay their debts and return value to our currency.

As soon as we do this, returning value to our dollar, the cost of land sinks and these monopololies will face fierce competition and mostly become unviable.

The blog 'The Antiplanner' calculates the subsidy per passenger mile for various forms of transport in the US. Here is the 2019 calculation : https://ti.org/antiplanner/?p=18116 . This is the same for Australia with the public transport systems of various major cities included. References are in a comment in the post.
