Speed kills. It’s the message that we’ve had driven home for decades by law enforcement and the government. But it’s time to have a serious discussion about speed limits in Australia without the hysterics and put some cold, hard facts into the debate.

Agree with the economic points.

Yes wombats etc would not be able to reach autobahns in most cases.

10 times the size of Germany

Germany is incredibly dense with roads and I'd say would have more paved highway KMs than Australia.

Thing is with the unpaved stuff in Aus you can often already do your 130+ cos nobody is around.
