if we get high speed, we should get the maglev. sooo much more greener and since the government is advocating for a greener australia it's a better choice... plus speeds of up to 400-500 km/h? much better than bullet trains... it'll also show australia isn't lagging behind in technology as maglevs are relatively new and bullet trains are like decades old...

it'll be like we're buying an old brick of a nokia phone while the rest of the world has a shiny new iphone @@

the last thing true Aussies want is the greens voice there are to types of people who vote for the greens a. the ungrateful and b. the stupid, have a look at there policy on on security point 42 what do you think the military is? and point 22 on their energy and climate change, climate is always changing and why should we change the world when we don't even make up 1% of the worlds population. To have a look at there policies, the majority absolute rubbish go to greens.org.au/policies/

how about they fix the fucking public transport system in sydney before they start wasting money into this high speed rail bullshit. seriously. im sick of trains or buses always being late by 20-30 minutes like its nothing.

@dbryar G'day... Um, well, again...; that's the point. To run a Coal-Fired Power-Station to Sparklerise them overhead wires, takes a heap of Diesel in the Bulldozer ; to push the Coal, into the Furnace...! When y'r facing an Energy Crunch, as we are, chasing a Choo-Choo crossed with a Concord (e)...; is a fairly delerious fantasy. At this Point, it equates to Fiddling while Rome Burns. Why not power it with Phlogiston ; while y're at the Drawing Board ?!

@WarblesOnALot

These don't use Diesel mate, that is freight trains you are thinking of; big and slow.

In order to get the speeds required for this you need overhead power the whole way
