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
@9ZM933G1wk1W
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.
@9M8CT847mos7MO
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.
@Auryn4yrs4Y
No, leave it to the private corporations rather than the government
@8R7RF7V4yrs4Y
Yes as long as no environmental impact
@8PXYCDN4yrs4Y
Only if doesn't impact environment or wildlife
@8M8M6ZW4yrs4Y
Only between state capitals and regional cities, e.g Newcastle to Canberra via Sydney or Wide Bay to Ballina NSW or Melbourne to Geelong
