all well and good

NMC...BUT... consider the size of the countries yr talking about and the populations. Small and very big respectively.
And dear OZ...its trouble is its too bloody BIG and the population is small.
Melbourne to Brisbane is like Madrid to Moscow and on to the Siberian gulags even.
We are in run down to an election..and Oz / all pollies are famous for big talk before and do nothing after if elected.
And as sure as the sun comes up tomorrow the current mob will be swept aside ...so any BS forthcoming now is totally meaningless.

How about Albo just buy every country town a Cessna Citation or such like so folk can whizz into the capital city in an hour or so. Very efficient.

Recent Dept Transport costing in QLD quoted a rail ticket to Roma ? is subsidized/costs the taxpayer, to the tune of $2500..! You can get an around the world air fare for less.!!
Taxpayers dollars should be efficiently spent by bureaurats, not chucked around like confetti.
Keep going the way we are and it will all end in tears.
