    What’s not necessary? HSR? DIsagree. It would be very useful and would make travelling by train viable to a lot more people

      Only destination it may work is Sydney-to-Melbourne line. But I do not think we have enough traffic there to be viable. Look at Japan, bullet trains there is more expensive than planes if you travel between major cities. Only thing trains have over planes is convenience and reach for small destinations.

        Melbourne to Brisbane (via Canberra and Sydney) is the only place anyone talking about high speed rail in Australia is concerned with. Nobody is saying we should build high speed rail to Broome.
