The car thing is insane, even when you explain that you live in as regional area with limited options AND that I can drive to work in 20mins vs 60mins on public transport, you still get yelled at.
We must realize that most actually town-concepts and public transport are build to seduce you to buy a car. (Mostly in western countries, where the car industry is one of the main successors.)
Oh the market is 40 min away and outside of the town and the bus only drives every two hours, well better buy a car or get lost.
Back to the 15-min Town, the concept is, there is everything you need for living (market, doctor, schools etc.) in an area you can reach in 15 min without a car.
You can’t compare rural France and rural Australia, the cities sure, build your 15min cities anywhere the population density suits it, but it doesn’t work in regional Australia.

Just check the 15min-Town idea created in France.

Australia, 7.8M Km², 26M people.
France, 0.5M Km², 65M people.
