Especially Melbourne-Sydney is insanely busy with almost 9.2 million each, it's almost the same as LAX-SFO, JFK-LAX and LGA-ORD combined (10.6 million). Melbourne-Brisbane (3.5 mill) and Sydney-Brisbane (4.8 mill) is also pretty packed too. source (pre pandemic numbers)
A Melbourne-Canberra-Sydney-Brisbane high speed train would have been great. But I don't think the Australian government is going to do yet another feasibility study on that.

Thank you for that link, I was completely unaware of that and it was pretty interesting to read. $500m isn't going to amount to much, but atleast they can get some of the planing going.
