I'm an advocate for carfree cities and an Australian. But in rural parts of Australia, in the early days of cars, people could have to walk a whole day on poor roads to get to the nearest town in the relatively densely populated state of Victoria. Public transport is not an option in the country. Participation in public life without a car is important and a human right, but it needs to be focused on towns and cities, not rural areas. Cars are optimised to the needs of the country.
