The cost of Medicare in Australia far exceeds the levy. That was added as an additional tax to supplement the regular funding.

Ah yes, a micro-apartment the same size as the average American kitchen [1], how affordable!

For comparison, Seattle WA has a minimum wage around 2.5x higher than Tokyo. Here is a larger apartment [2] that is only 1.33x more expensive than your Tokyo broom closet.

Go ahead and find something more akin to the American sized apartments (500sq+ for 1 bd) and you'll see that the prices are almost the same, with much lower wages across the board.

Not wrong at all. Previously owner-occupied single family homes will continue to be bulldozed and replaced with 8 story wooden boxes, owned by national corporate landlords of course.

It would be similar to your local state's attorney general, since this is from a state government in Australia. NSW has a similar population to Washington State, for example.
