We can and should be allowed to drive faster on our freeways and motorways; but don’t think governments will let it happen overnight.

Sometimes, I think the only country that hates good public transit as much as America is Australia. One legend to another, I tip my hat to you.
Honestly, this wouldn’t really be needed if you guys even had highER speed rail connections between your cities (think 200 kph, rather than 320), which would be a lot cheaper to build than real HSR. Besides that, taking a train sucks a lot less than driving all those huge distances, or at least, in my opinion it sucks a lot less.
I feel like petroleum companies have played some role in assuring that countries like America and Australia don’t develop rail capabilities.

The problem is they genuinely don’t want to. There’s no real political will to achieve the goal and some pollies will give lip service to the idea and never truly bother to get it started.
