Peter Ward and Rat156 for Premier and transport minister please.
Problem here though is that we only have one highway that is anywhere near Autobahn standards, that's the Hume from Melb to Syd and even that is extremely poor qualitity in a few sections..i.e. between Cragieburn and Beveridge and there are still some single lane sections in NSW. 130-140km/h limit on the Vic section and in parts of NSW would work well though. Besides that there really are next to no roads here where one could safely travel at speeds much above 100kmh.
The existing 100-110 is perfectly good for most of the poor quality 1 lane roads we have here.
At the end of the day, when it comes to road and rail, Australia is bordering on 3rd world, but you can't expect much when you have only 12-15 million taxpayers in an area the size of the USA, you aren't going to have autobahns.
