This guy, Gary Johns, is a real piece of work- you'd think he is the Australian rep. for the Reason or Cato Foundation.  Like others of his ilk, he compares HSR to slow conventional rail (apples to oranges), and trots out the maxim that railways don't pay their way in Australia- well, do the highways and airports/air traffic control system pay their way???

The only certain thing about the future of HSR in Australia is that the academics and politicians will continue to argue the pros and cons and spend more money proving their points than actually building the thing.
