ECT India, page-60

I take that response as coming from an all-superior white man's view of the world.

Having been in China a number of times including over the last 3 weeks and having travelled on intercity high speed trains at 308km/h I was seriously impressed with China's progress in the last 20 years.

Dithering Australia cannot get a little rail line from the city to the airport in Melbourne or a high speed rail from Sydney to Melbourne or figure out where the next decade's electricity will come from with or without SSM debate being the biggest issue of the last 18 months.

And what is the timetable for loading Coldry into electricity generators in Australia? -- light years if ever.
