New fast train service




From Australia's satirical magazine, The Shovel:

The Morrison Government today unveiled plans for the nation’s first fast train service, which will revolutionise train travel in Australia, according to the Prime Minister. 

The early election promise is one of a range of new ideas Mr Morrison has put forward to modernise the country’s infrastructure and boost the coal industry. Dubbed ‘Barnaby’, the service will cover the busy Sydney to Canberra route. Although buses will be needed between Sydney to Bungendore due to track incompatibility, it is expected to cut hours from the current horse and carriage time. 


The Shovel is mocking the sadly-misnamed Liberal/National government, which wants to go back to the coal era.  The new PM, Morrison, even brought a piece of coal into Parliament and advised people "not to be afraid of it".
