The French government’s recent decision to ban short-haul domestic flights between cities that are connected by a train or bus trip of less than two and a half hours has sparked some energetic debate this week about whether Australia could follow the French in moving away from short-haul flights. Hence, could Australia invoke a similar ban? An obvious candidate would be the sub-one-hour Canberra to Sydney flight, often frequented by bureaucrats and politicians. However, without meaningful policy reform, the idea is unlikely to take off. What do you think LiveTribers? Should flying between Canberra and Sydney be abolished?
