You optimized spending in the Australia option, but didn't in USA option. Instead, you used typical spending, which is misleading. I wonder how much less one can spend if that is set as a goal, and if you take into account the apparent single/no kids/lives in apartment assumptions of the Australia option.
Note that spending on housing and such is optimised because of subsidization. Most Australians will be spending similarly to the American option.
