Labor, the Coalition and the Greens support the concept of high-speed rail linking Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne, as well as regional areas in between. The parties disagree on whether the project should be a current priority and whether it should be financed federally or by the states.

The government should improve all public transport as a means of abolishing private transport. Public transport should be efficient and free
@B4GK74Y2 days2D
No, Australia is too large and has too extreme weather to safely have high speed rail. Unless it's all done underground...
@B4BTX2Z1wk1W
Yes, but only when other issues like cost of living and the housing crisis are properly addressed and eased.
@9ZM933G5mos5MO
You're only many years behind on such a thing but government seems too inept at building and actually having it both workable for the people and cost efficient. Before government invests in anything it should be removed and replaced with a fresh lot of people. Liberal and labour need to be dismantled and the 2 party dictatorship abolished.
@B22BRQH4mos4MO
With all the billions of dollar being poured into projects like the Sydney metro and others new lines it makes no sense to then create something that would effectively make it redundant
@9ZTQK9J 4mos4MO
Yes but contract Japan supply, manage and build it and set up maintenance infrastructure and train our citizens to manage the network. If Australian unions and bureaucrats get involved it will sub standard, take decades or never be completed and unions will make it u affordable as costs will keep escalating
@9M8CT8411mos11MO
Yes, the federal government should invest in high-speed rail, but only in Melbourne and Adelaide. Due to mountain ranges and long distances, connecting to other cities is not worth it.
