Welcome to the 1970s.
>>80938401
>200 Billion.
Are they making the track out of gold?
>>80938572
over 20 years, so like 10 billion a year. So its not that bad.
Also, will own fuck loads of land and start 8 new towns/cities that will boom from this. Massive economic growth potential
>>80938401
I believe like most big infrastructure promises this will never happen
we japan now (by now i mean 20 years)
>>80938572
Private money desu. No tax being spent on this one.
>>80938742
laying rail has always been expensive you dumb faggot
>>80938727
>Tiny island nation with huge population wonders why its taken so long for huge island with tiny population to get HSR built.
>>80938814
this is privately done. It will happen. Probably won't start for another 4 years though. By then, everyone will be using hyperloop
>>80938742
Huge distance. It's like making a train line from new york to montreal, from scratch, in the Australian bush..
I for one welcome this mega project
>>80939270
I hope so.
Stuff like this just reminds me of the mega casino promised for years in Cairns or the EastWest tunnel in Melbourne.
The government always forces itself into the deal somehow and promptly fucks it up for everyone
Looks like it's bypassing Wollongong? Retarded.
Map indicates it won't directly connect to Canberra, which is one of the shittiest problems with the existing rail network.
>>80939634
>Wollonbong fag detected
I really hope we get the Chinese from your town to build it
>private company
here we fucking go again
It'll be like the M2
>>80938401
>Northern Melbourne
>South Western Sydney
Looks like the rail is going to get culturally enriched
>>80938401
>new towns will be built around
These cunts are dreaming.
>>80940876
Sure they will. You'll have smaller bus/train services to the surrounding shitholes (wagga+albury/wanoonga)
Thus these people will want a beerio, snack and maybe a sleep til morning
If you have a pub/hotel you have a town
Finally connecting all of the shittiest parts of the East Coast :^)
>>80941527
Name the last new town created in Australia.
It would have been 100 years ago.
New towns don't happen anymore.
>>80938401
>Outsourced to China using Chinese rail and Chinese trains
>From one Chinese city to another Chinese city
LIKE POTTERY
>>80941733
no but new suburbs do just look at springfield or north lakes and thats just from queensland
>>80941852
That's rich coming from a country that's made up of chinese
>>80942788
>new suburbs
Not the same thing m80.
We should claim one of these cities.
>>80938401
lemme guess jews own the private company?
>>80938727
Thanks nice to be here.
>>80938401
Malcolm Turnbull has already committed to the project, advising it will be following the example of the NBN multi technology mix, replacing the final 40km of the track with a horse and cart.
>>80941733
Roxby Downs is pretty significant.
>>80938401
>It's another Australia will be getting high speed rail episode
Gee, how many times have I heard this before? It's never going to happen. This country is an infrastructural backwater and will always remain as such. If we can't even get decent internet, then we sure as hell 'ain't getting high speed rail.
>>80948121
>Roxby Downs
Is not a real town. Just a big hotel.
Might move to one of these new cities when I'm older, Sydney is only going to get worse and worse, god it's such a horrible place.
>>80938401
>Bullet Train
>Between Melbourne and Sydney
How about GO FUCK YOURSELVES, RETARDS. If you think the drive from fucking Melbourne to Sydney is long, holy SHIT.
We need bullet trains from Brisbane to Perth, going right through everywhere else.
THE HAPPENING, WE'RE GONNA GET THOSE TRAINS RUNNING
>>80948277
It's about a 7 or 8 hour drive isn't it? pretty long if you ask me.
>>80948239
Cheap one at that.
>$200/w rent for a 4 bedroom house.
>>80948277
We need dual carriageway highways going to and from every major town.
We need light rail for industry in the urban centers.
We need regular ass rail to every town that's worth putting on the map.
We need more investment into greening practices for the desert portions of the country.
We need a lot of things mate.
But for real it should at least go to Brisbane.
>Implying Brisbane wont be bigger than Melbourne/Sydney in 30 years time.
WE'RE GONNA BUILD A GIANT GUN AND IT'S GOING TO SHOOT TRAINS
>>80938401
>wagga wagga
>>80948494
Yeah Brisbane should probably be included too.
>>80948570
Shutup cunt my nan and aunties live there
My mum sucked off Bon Scott from ACDC at a gig they did their in the 70's, one of their very first gigs
>>80948570
And a Humpty Doo to you too.
>>80948694
Fuck mate, you're mums a legend. I'd put her on the spit
>>80941733
Canberra :^)
>>80948928
Canberra was founded in 1913, so that's over 100 years ago.
>>80939872
I laughed harder at this than I should have
>>80939757
Yeh nah m8 that's cause of the sociological aspects of the topography of fuck Canberra anyway cunt
>>80941733
Palmerston
Joondalup
>>80948586
I'd rather be connected to Brisbane than Melbourne.
>>80948049
kek
>>80948570
It's pronounced "wogga wogga"
>>80938727
失礼だよ!
>>80948542
FULL OF MUSLIMS AT THE MOON
>>80949585
>Palmerston
>Joondalup
These are just glorified suburbs of bigger cities.
>>80938401
>takes 20 years to build
>>80938727
Kek never change nepon
>>80941733
I have been working on developing Schofield's for the last 2-3 years. Check some satellite images over the last few years and tell me new towns haven't been built
>>80938401
When will turnbull be ousted?
Completely unnecessary. Just catch a greyhound
>>80950329
They're suburbs, not towns.
>>80941733
Also depends on what we're calling a town here.
Is Kulgera a 'town'. Is Oodnadatta?
>200 billion
>20 years to build
>sydney to melbourne
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahaha
>>80950399
hopefully soon
>>80950690
>20 years to build
Fuck is this tripe.
>>80938401
HAHA, do you not have planes? Jesus Aussies get it together. This is such a scam it isn't even funny.
>>80941852
What are they, Africa?
It'll be a clunky steaming pile of shit like everything else the government touches.
>>80950816
That's the reason they want to build a high speed rail line, air traffic between Sydney and Melbourne is apparently the 3rd most busiest air space place in the world.
>>80950906
It's actually private, not government.
Who will I vote for next election if there's no Bullet Train party?
>>80951620
Bullet train in less than 20 years party
Bullet train you say?
>>80949600
Then we'd get all the Sydney druggo's up here, fuck that. The bus is a good deterrent for them.
>mfw all of the sjw degenerates start flooding sydney
honestly id prefer the asians over them t b h
>>80950969
Chinese government
>>80950935
Bullshit. Your country has like 5 people. anyway why not just build another airport?
>>80953063
Both Melbourne and Sydney are bigger than Chicago. Individually, not combined.
63% of Australia lives in 5 cities, 40% in two, Melbourne and Sydney.
it's one of the few places on earth a bullet train makes a lick of sense t b q h.
>>80953391
Fuck
>>80953449
KEK Why is Chicago relevant?
Bullet train may make sense but is it really better than adding more flight capacity?
>>80953990
They are fucking retarded. Sydney AP isn't even 24 hours and Melbourne AP doesn't even ahve a train despite 100+ years of lefties asking for it and being in power.
>>80948570
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_reduplicated_Australian_place_names
You're welcome for the zozzles mate :^)
>>80953990
Both would be good really. Trains cheaper in the long run as it'd be quicker and cleaner to operate, planes a shorter term (read: 20 years to build a rail my ass) solution. Why not both? Not like we don't have a bunch of tradies coming off mining work that'd jump at the mere notion of a shekel, or even land.
>>80954303
Melb AP is privately owned, gubmint can't make them do nuffin. Or well, would have a harder time of it.
>Lefties in charge of getting things done.
>>80941733
The Sunshine Coast didn't exist until the 50's
Everything that happened north of Brisbane happened in the hinterland and revolved around agriculture and forestry
Then they started creating towns on the beaches after WW2 when people wanted to move away from the cities
>>80954963
Smaller towns just expanded.
>>80954618
>spend 20 years to build train
>40 years until train pulls ahead of planes
>it's 2075 and hyper loops are the only civilized way to travel.
>>80955134
Going from a couple of hundred people to hundreds of thousands of people is quite an expansion
>>80941733
there's a town on the mid north coast called tallwoods which sprung up in the 80's around a golf course
>>80955197
The same thing happened with your mum's vagina.
>>80955211
I doubt they built a golf course in the middle of nowhere. There was already a town nearby.
>>80955153
>hyperloop
I'll believe it when I see it.
>>80954963
Sunshine/Gold Coast and Brisbane are pretty much the same city now aren't they?
>>80948155
Why can't the country with a population density barely higher than the moon manage to connect its couple dozen citizens with higher speed internet and rail?
>>80955415
Brisbane and Gold Coast are pretty much connected at their very peripheries
There's still about 40 minutes of pine plantations and forests between the edges of the Sunshine Coast and the first Moreton Bay suburbs.
Sunshine Coast is just like Gold Coast if It was stuck 40 years ago in terms of development, for better or worse.
>>80938401
It's a Green's wet dream.
200 bn...
Very simple maths - no account for profit/loss. To recoup the outlay over 50 years, that's 4bn revenue per year. If a trip on the train costs $500, that's 8,000,000 trips required per year JUST TO MAKE BACK the 200bn over a 50 year period.
These fuckwits are smoking crack.
>>80955663
>revenue
m8 come on it would generate money through productivity improvements and all that shit too.
>>80955738
Yeah, right "productivity improvements"...
I think you need to work on the business plan a little more
>>80955972
Nice pic related m8. Gave me a giggle.
>>80955355
yes, and now there's a separate town around the golf course
but i can see from your replies that your a contrarian faggot, maybe kys
>>80956669
>a separate town around the golf course
Nah it is just an outgrowth of the original town.
Call me a contrarian again m8 and it will be on.
>>80956957
so you live there?
i don't see how a 7 minute drive through UNINHABITED scrub make it part of the same town fuckwit
>>80955258
Funny cunt.
>>80953990
We know you guys can't because of niggers but we don't have that problem yet i'd rather be more like a japenese city like toyko than an american city like detroit or los angles
>>80955415
gook coast and brisbane are connected aswell ipswich but the sunshine coast isn't connected just it stops at the end d'agulier highway and than you got pine plantations
>>80938789
>Start 8 new towns/cities
>Start
So they will be ugly housing developments filled with housos, tradies and refugees? Can't wait to live there or bypass them doing 400km/h.
>>80957986
>>80955631
Ah ok, Can't say I see that lasting though.
>>80956957
As for you ya cheeky cunt you're breezing past Roxby Downs as a 'town' but you haven't answered my earlier question, would ""towns"" like kulgera and oodnadatta count, especially if for some ungodly reason they became more than just pistops.
>>80958408
m8 I have lost interest in the towns argument now.
I am declaring victory and let's leave it at that.
>>80958807
You win this time faggot. I'll found a town to spite you.
>>80953391
>>80953521
>>80953974
>>80954475
>>80955998
>>80957821
>>80958909
>>80959436
Am really enjoying this series of memes m8.
Never going to happen, plus bullet trains are almost obsolete anyways.
>>80941733
I'm genuinely spastic and I know you're wrong.
>>80938727
Nipon bants 2nd to only 1.
