There's talk of a remotely similar venture in Australia connecting Melbourne and Sydney ("via" Canberra), and establishing up to eight greenfield cities along the route.

Bold plan but I hope they can see it through.

That'd be an absolute dream. Never going to happen with the current political climate though. The Victorian government could barely get some level crossings removed without Murdoch and the Liberals shitting all over it.

It's basically sacrilege to invest in infrastructure other than coal power plants in this country.

If only there was more sunshine, then you could use solar panels. :-/
