If pollies are so full of hot air, should't they resemble balloons?


Oh!.. Sorry!... I forgot about Clive Palmer and Joe Hockey and ....

..we can leave Tony out if this argument... his gas emissions are probably onion induced...

Those propulsion fans would certainly spread coal dust pollution far and wide?

Be a bugger to shunt as well!

Looks like more like an aircraft than a train.

It's a hybrid!  The minimalist track means a smaller footprint and lower maintenance (since it's not load-bearing) and the hovercraft function puts it into a "cousin-of-the-aeroplane" category.  That also means its levitation isn't aerofoil dependent, so it can operate among the birds and flying foxes without serious damage.
