Australia is over 200x the size of the Netherlands. What works in the Netherlands doesn’t necessarily work in Australia.
My drive to work is an hour. If I was to catch public transport it would take 2.5 hours. If I was to ride a bike to work I’d be on a bike for the 16 hours a day that I’m not at work.

This part is not really relevant for intra-city or inner-city travel. Yes it means that you should always have car infrastructure. But it does not mean that you should only have car infrastructure in cities. Think about it, isn’t it something you’d agree on? Wouldn’t it be better for you if there would be less car traffic in the inner city?

By all means, please do use the car! I’m not saying you not to. I’m only speaking about alternatives to cars being available. Not cars being banned or any stupid sh*t like that.
The point is that there are no alternatives to cars for a large, large percentage of the population. In the inner city people already don’t really use cars to just drive around in the city. Public transport in the inner city isn’t an issue - it’s getting in to and out of the city where it is.
