Sunrise on Channel Seven: Professor Ed Blakely says the recent proposal for an east coast high speed rail link in Australia is an important and innovative step in a globalised world, as evidenced by the many countries who already have the technology. He also draws on his urban policy knowledge to explain why the cost of the infrastructure will pay for itself thanks to property development up and down the line.

I can't understand how Australia, one of the richest countries in the world does not have HSR. The benefits for outweigh those against. U.S.A only has 1 line and it has the biggest economy in the world. The Oil companies ,Airlines and big Farmer lobbyists would be using their power to stop or halt HSR altogether. It may take 30 years and cost $100 Billion but they'd be foolish to not do it.
