Disagree

Yes, and also invest in high speed rail and public transportation

The Liberal Party has generally been cautious about large-scale public investment in high-speed rail and public transport, often criticizing such projects as costly and favoring private sector involvement. Their focus has been more on road infrastructure and incremental improvements rather than transformative public transport investment.

Strongly disagree

No, and eliminate the EPA

While the Liberal Party has sometimes reduced the scope of environmental agencies, it has not advocated for eliminating the EPA (or its Australian equivalent, the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water). Such a position would be considered extreme even within the party.
