I don't foresee any problems with a naive, drunk young girl from the country taking the night-rider home to bankstown at 1am.

What are you basing that on? Neither of those sites are illegal.

9/11 that is all

bankstown is not 2 hours to the city. More like 45 minutes from the station fool.

Hey let's decide upon the single most important issue facing us. Then when the government does something terrible, unless it relates to that single most important issue, we'll just turn a blind eye to it. MY BRAIN CAN ONLY FOCUS ON ONE PROBLEM AT ONE, STOP BOTHERING IT WITH THIS INTERNET...

Every year millions of Australians are hurt by bad relationships. Not only is it bad for people's wellbeing, it costs us billions of hours of lost productivity and causes the spread of deadly diseases. The government should issue sex licences for people who have been checked for STDs. People...

On apprentice chef wages, you'd be lucky to afford the nazi christian nuthouse.

So if the trains run from central, won't the track have to be altered making it unusable to other trains. Or even if the HSR can run on the same tracks, the high frequency of services you suggest will get say 2/3 market share will put enormous strain on the Sydney Suburban Network which is...

Then there's also the issue of waiting time which is significantly increased, because to be able to get the HSR from Campeltown, you may have to take a suburban train to Campeltown that gets there 15 - 20 mins early and then wait around at the platform, (which I might add is less comfortable...

Nah bro, its all office jobs, and there's not much construction going on atm. Bogans generally hate the city. "The traffic is fucked mate, and there's no where to park me commodore, and there's all chinks everywhere, and faggots in suits."

There are just way more jobs of every kind in the city. Unless your some sort of bogan tradie.

So under the Greens' proposal, where does the line begin and end? If it ran CBD to CBD in 3 hours it would be pretty swell, but from the Sydney side that seems impossible. The existing suburban lines are already at capacity, so converting them to HSR would wreak havoc in Sydney. The only...

Own room in the inner city is at a minimum $200pw plus bills, for a tiny room in an old building. In the actual CBD its more like $300 - $400. Based on what I've seen Ashfield is the best value suburb with good access to the city.

What is your source on this? What is the optimal size? If Sydney has surpassed the so called "ideal size", who is to say that regional centres which would be way under it are not even worse? Again, sauce please? Wouldn't high land values make infill more attractive? There are no shortage of...

Hahaha, "absolute max." Except every government project almost certainly goes way over budget.

I agree with you about a stateless society, but in such a society what is to stop capitalistic institutions from forming. I'm not against communal organisations per se, as an anarchist I fully support people's rights to form them. It's just in the absence of government, I think a lot of people...

Where did I mention number of stops? I mentioned distance. HSR might make rail competitive between London and Paris, but at over double the distance, its probably not between Sydney and Melbourne. As distance increases, HSR looses its speed edge over air travel. Sydney to Melbourne is...

If that's the case, its still cheaper to build it and get a few decades worth of usage than to build HSR now, especially considering in a few decades when it might actually be needed the price and quality of HSR will have fallen dramatically. Also, the airport can be build privately so it...
