There will be a HUGE amount of pressure on this.
There is no actual physical evidence anywhere in Australia on what happens when speed limits are raised significantly just the constant dogma pushed by the academics and their financers.
If, where the limit is raised, the toll drops there will be a lot of questions that need to be answered and a lot of "experts" will be shown up.
Therefore the only way that the "experts" can protect themselves in to make sure that it never happens.
It is the bully principle. Threaten and cause fear and you will get your way until someone stands up to you and knocks you down.
The best way to never be knocked down is to ensure that no-one ever gets a chance to stand up to you......

As a former VicSES road accident rescuer, I can tell you that when a car hits a pole/tree at 100km/h there is significant damage and injury, but when that same car hits that same pole/tree at much higher speeds there is significantly more damage and injury, I didn't think you needed to be Albert Einstein or Isaac Newton to work that out.
People are currently struggling to come to grips with driving now given their level of ability and concentration.
This is not an argument about speed limits, this is an argument about compliance with simple rules, this is about I want everything
now, it is about I need to be somwhere
NOW, oh so typical of the NOW generation.
