Bullet Train YouTube ad wants to be on TV

Old ad, entirely my fault for not double checking. It popped up on YouTube as a new video for some reason, and I thought it was interesting enough to share.

Disregard.

Implying there won’t be queues for the bullet train? security, check-in, baggage etc

I’m sure a government down the line will privatise the station, making the whole thing redundant.

I notice they are careful not to say how much this will cost.

I think the ad is left over from last year’s ACT election.

Bullet Train party need to specify – are they running for the Lower House or the Senate? If they are running for the Senate, they had better rub some policy synapses together, because not many folk in politically savvy Canberra are going to risk helping give a one-issue party the balance of power in the Senate.

So, Bullet Train Party, use your platform space on RiotAct to sell us your candidates and spell out your spectrum of policies. And you’ll need, closer to the election, to spell out whether you’ve made any preference deals …

When the Bullet Train Party’s candidate fails to win, will we again see a gaggle of Greens supporters on RA moaning that the “HST Party” robbed Simon Sheikh of Senate victory?

What 20 October election?

trevar said :

Is there currently anything about modes of transport in our constitution?

Look up Hughes & Vale vs NSW. The judgement in this case (that trucks didn’t have to pay taxes when crossing state boundaries, thanks to the Constitution) is usually blamed as causing the subsequent demise of the railways in this country and why they are in such a mess.

Good to see a political positive ad!

Has the election been moved to 20 October? I thought it was in September

Bugger a bullet train – I want a matter transporter with faster-than-light transmission to anywhere, any time.

Equally likely and probably cheaper. Send me $20 so I can start the campaign. Once the device is built I’ll send you your money back a week before you sent it to me.
