"Australia’s new High Speed Rail Authority comes into being today. Created by
the Albanese government, the authority and its newly named board have been set
a challenging task: “bring high-speed rail to reality”.
Nearly four decades after it was first proposed, Australia must surely hold the
world record for high-speed rail studies with no construction. I estimate the
cost of all these studies to date to be about A$150 million (both public and
private money, in 2023 dollars). Yet not one kilometre of a land corridor for a
high-speed rail track has been reserved.
The challenge for the Albanese government is to go further than yet more
studies and start construction."
