Should the federal government invest in the construction of a high speed rail?

not necessary.

Yes, and keep it nationalized.

I support any line of rail network, underground system, monorail, above ground, intercity, even reinstating tramlines, so yes they should

Yes, where it is profitable, and in a few other limited but important places to prevent high amounts of debt in the railroad industry

Yes, upgrading infrastructure is important.

I dont have enough information to make a decision.

No, let the free market handle it. It would come way faster and would be waaaaaaaay better than whatever the governments gonna pull out of its *** with stolen money of Australians

They can't get the current system running correctly so no.

No, but introduce tax incentives and remove red tape for private companies to do so.

Only if it is affordable and services eastern major cities

Yes but as long as heritage sites like glenrowan have the tracks lowered or put underground not to change the above landscape or bridges by making them obscenely high

no it should be privately funded

Yes, linking regional cities to coastal cities

I don't realy have an opion on this

Possibly between Melbourne, Adelaide, Canberra, and Sydney, but otherwise it wouldn't be viable.

only if environmentally friendly

Of course if needed

Yes if it’s environmentally friendly

Yes but not THIS fed gov, they’ll just contract their mates & deliver something so sub-par it should be criminal. Labor could get it done though.

No, but encourage more investment from the private sector and free up red tape.

yes as long as it benefits regional australians not just sydney and melbourne

Yes, if there is a benefit

Ni opinion

Yes, and work with Japanese railway companies to ensure this will happen.

Privatised hyperloops, the first person to do it is gonna be in the interest of making a lot of money, and with IP abolished there would be many more until the industry can't make more money due to competition and supply/demand

Yes, and add stops at small towns and villages to increase tourism

Yes, If it's also going towards renewable public transport

There would not be enough demand with the vast distances between cities

Higher priority issues should be considered 1st

Yes as long as no environmental impact

Only if doesn't impact environment or wildlife

No, leave it to the private corporations rather than the government

Only between state capitals and regional cities, e.g Newcastle to Canberra via Sydney or Wide Bay to Ballina NSW or Melbourne to Geelong

Only if it had zero environmental impact

No, but definitely in the future when it’s more affordable and practical to travel between cities/states.

i think yes, starting with the east being our most populated, and then moving to incorporate the rest of the country, a high speed rail will cut the shipping times of goods thus lowering prices, but will also facilitate long range workers in traveling to and from distant work sites.

Only if it is environmentally friendly

The use of Tesla trucks are far more economical than rail transportation for goods. However, a hyperloop for people would be very beneficial for major cities, allowing people not dwelling in cities to work in cities and arrive on time

Yes, on Sydney-Canberra-Melbourne corridor. With dedicated lines within the Sydney and Melbourne areas, expandimg to the Sydney-Newcastle-Gold Coast-Brisbane corridor at a later date when viable.

as long as rightful land and wildlife aren’t hurt or damaged

yes, as long as no residents/ wildlife is greatly impacted.

Yes, but with a focus on creating development corridors between major cities with stops that link regional areas together.
