High speed rail is a result of scales of economy. Mass dense population in small land sizes where it can be paid off.
Note. I was on the high speed rail from Kyoto to Tokyo, 450 kms, 2hr 4 mins
But, every time we entered a tunnel, the train dropped to 180km / hr because a train hitting a wall of air at 300km/hr is like hitting a brick wall.
The tunnels are twice the diameter of a normal train tunnel for this simple reason.
The rail must have protected easements as an object travelling that fast has no warning and poses a risk to life and cattle
They work very well when moving large population over shorter distances which is not Australia.
And for eff sake, don't you think for one moment every egghead in Australian Universities faculties have done their research on this!

East Coast of Oz is relatively densely populated on the East Coast.

Sydney - Melbourne flight route is one of the worlds busiest

Just do it

High speed is City to City.

Just how many stops between Melbourne & Sydney?
Would it start in Adelaide.?
Would it go to Brisbane?
How often would it run? Hourly? Daily? 365 Days?

Build it and it will come.

I'd start with Canberra - Sydney - Newcastle. Then Melb
