Generally, Australian roads are pretty crap by 1st world standards. There is STILL no continous freeway even from Melbourne to Brisbane, and the sections that are freeways have several at-grade intersections.
At the very least, Melbourne, Canberra, Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide should be linked by a dual carriageway.
It's not a matter of how many vehicles use the road per day, it's about safety.

Very true, but I suppose we have one up. Australia has some of the most rugged vehicles in the world which have been manufactured specifically to deal with the crap roads.
In the trucking world, Australia has THE largest & most durable trucks / Prime Movers in the world. (Road registered that is). Nowhere else in the world do they have 1 prime mover pulling up to 6 trailers down the highway.
