Why we use trucks for freight as much we do is beyond me.

Tony Abbott had Lindsay Fox "toys" on his prime ministerial book shelves as an examplw.

Why ? becase we keep.voting for politcans who have little interst in rail or oublic tranzport in general.

Even when we do something belated, like the Inland.Rail project, it doesn't go to the port in Brisbane, nor carries in to port of Gladstone but ends in teucking depot in Brisbane.

As many people were killed by traffic murders on the day of the Boncli shootings as by gun.

Fuck that's a good stat to have. Do you have a good source I can use to point to it?

It won’t be accurate; I found only four across four states. The others won’t have 13 or more.

There will be no source provided, except "Trust me, bro", because is not true. Unless OP meant globally...
