not necessary.
What's not necessary? HSR? DIsagree. It would be very useful and would make travelling by train viable to a lot more people
Only destination it may work is Sydney-to-Melbourne line. But I do not think we have enough traffic there to be viable. Look at Japan, bullet trains there is more expensive than planes if you travel between major cities. Only thing trains have over planes is convenience and reach for small destinations.
