''The rural average would be much higher, as would the metropolitan outer suburbs average
we don't all live in the inner city or do 40 klms a day of gridlock travel a day''
we are building a NATIONAL grid
do you need assistance to understand what the word 'national' means ---------
we don't really need to look at 'your' definition of average
As per usual - there are 25 million people in Oz apx -------------- 24.5 million do something - yet you want to talk about the remaining few who do something else
better take a ticket from Tony Abbott -------------- Australia should not support people who choose to live in remote areas ----------- your chosen lifestyle - you support yourself -
we'll work on national averages thanks
''• The larger capital cities had relatively long commutes—Sydney’s average was 15.0 km, Melbourne’s was 14.6 km, and Brisbane’s was 14.9 km, Perth’s was 14.9 km and Adelaide’s was 12.4 km. Smaller capital cities’ average commuting distance was shorter—Hobart’s was 11.5 km, Darwin was 12.3 km and the ACT was 11.5 km—reflecting the smaller urban footprint. • The average commuting distance of residents of the major cities can be grouped into four ranges: o 9–12 km: Townsville, Cairns, Launceston, Albury–Wodonga, Toowoomba and Canberra– Queanbeyan. o 12–14 km: Bendigo, Darwin, Adelaide, Ballarat, Hobart o 14–15 km: Melbourne, Brisbane, Geelong, Perth, Sydney o 15–20 km: Newcastle-Maitland, Gold Coast–Tweed Heads, Sunshine Coast, Mackay and Wollongong. • Average commuting distance by four BITRE regional classifications varied widely. Commuting distances in Coastal Significant Urban Areas (SUAs) above 30,000 was 14.1 km and in Coastal SUAs with 10,000-30,000 population it was 16.5 km. Coastal country regions had a significantly higher average of 25.8 km, whilst Remote regions had an average of 31.2 km.''
