High speed rail would deal with so many problems such as decentralization , urban house/landprices,urban infrastructure overload , unemployment, reduce fossil fuel transport use rail [10% fuel v air ], overcrowding of cities ,building more airports.
Over the medium term it could fund itself thru land sales of previously cheap residential + industrial land now valuable along the corridor.
You can't help but be impressed when you go to Europe or Japan.
Unfortunately we are a conservative country of short term thinkers , lacking vision and the lobby groups enriching themselves at present fossil fuelers, real estate, airlines ,would oppose any government assistance .It was bad enough with the NBN but this is bigger.
