I'm assuming the standard to meet for housing would be fluid, rising with current living standards and poverty line? Would you nationalize those standards or measure them in accordance with each city? For example, the cost of living in [insert my city here] is going to be radically different from New York City. Probably wayyyyyy cheaper lol.
I looked into the agriculture thing and in 10 minutes i couldn't find much, but you guys dont genetically modify your food apparently. The Prime Minister of Agriculture says this helps, but food producers themselves are saying that not growing GM is making them lose profits.
You guys also have a flat 30% corporate tax rate instead of a progressive one. Your industry is somethings like 55% small farms, so it will hit half the industry hard and the other half not hard. You guys are slowly becoming more large-farm, so there is slowly increasingly less competition as well.
The agriculture industry hasn't been growing as fast recently as well, probably because of aforementioned reasons and more reasons:
-Droughts and floods
-Extreme regulation compared to the rest of the world
-Smaller population, so factories will produce many more goods, making them less efficient. (as opposed to one factory for one good sort of deal).
-Higher minimum wage (I think this is a small factor)
the US is consistently better than Australia in food prices:
