That is exclusively a problem of politcal and may be incompetence. It doesn’t change the fact that Australia is extremely well suited for HSR covering the majority of its urban population. All with a single line.
You are aware that your link confirms my point, aren’t you? Countless studies showing that the corridor is feasible and makes sense, yet not a single project in 50 years, where the government has shown the political will to get serious about it, never mind showing long term commitment.
If you want to bring up actual arguments why what is possible in Japan, China and much of Europe is impossible on the Melbourne-Sydney corridor, be my guest.
it seems it wasn’t me who didn’t read your own source:
“Every federal government since this time has investigated the feasibility of constructing high-speed rail with speeds above 200 km/h, but to date nothing has ever gone beyond the detailed planning stage”
Yes, it has been attempted many many many times, it’s now parodied in our own parks and rec style comedy program:

No arguments? A pity.

Even the US has come further already than that.
You’re confused why it’s not getting past the planning stage?
Maybe watch the video again? You’re literally the guy in it :)
