Congratulations to Queensland for being serious about rail freight, pity
that the other states and the Feds show such apathy.  Keep building more
roads and freeways so we can have more trucks and use up our energy and
environment more quickly!  Just like the good ole failed USA transport
policies of the 1950s, as exemplified in Los Angeles, build freeways until
there's no room for anything else, and you still get gridlock and smog.
