1. What are your views on euthanasia?

The Bullet Train for Australia Party has no official position on any other policy areas apart from High-Speed-Rail (HSR), Bullet Trains, Very Fast Trains, Fast-rail and related topics.


2. Do you support a High Speed Rail Link between Sydney/Canberra/Melbourne?

Of course! High Speed Rail is not only needed, it’s long overdue. A High speed rail would create more than one hundred thousand jobs and stimulate the economy.


3. Are you comfortable with the distribution of wealth in modern day Australia?

The Bullet Train for Australia Party has no official position on any other policy areas apart from High-Speed-Rail (HSR), Bullet Trains, Very Fast Trains, Fast-rail and related topics.


4. Recent polling (Auspoll) shows housing affordability to be a critical issue for a majority of Australians, with 84% of respondents saying it was important to them or their families, putting housing affordability ahead of issues such as education, border security, the NBN and NDIS.

The same poll also revealed that 84% of respondents also believe that Australia is not performing well on housing affordability.

Australian Governments are failing badly on this issue of critical importance to Australians.
What would you do to improve housing affordability?

Good question – This only makes me think about having a way to connect regional Australia where housing is affordable to the job plentiful cities. High speed rail would do this. re-vitalizing and connecting towns to the major cities.


5. To me the NBN seems like a great idea, can you tell me why you think it’s ace/a dumb idea.
