Because they are frightened of Fyshwick shenanigans.
Shouldn't you be asking this the the NSW or ACT forum?
A bus is a glorified toaster on wheels.

Well, what's actually implied is obviously "why is there no rail passenger service Melbourne to Canberra". This is partly due to the track configuration at Goulburn.
A true friend will see you through when others see that you are through.

A connecting Sydney or Melbourne bound CountryStink service would probably make some sense I suppose; that's if the passenger numbers would warrant it.

There is. Two daily services with connecting buses from Albury.
Two services on Saturdays and and one on Sundays.
Quite well priced, too, I might add.

Because I can pay Tiger Airways $49.95 to take me there from Melbourne, and it only takes an hour.

Some sudanese immigrants bashed the railways at Noble Park and stole it.
People who talk out their asre usually have bad breath.

It's a pity that clearly wording a question so it can be understood as the user intended seems to be too too hard for a lot of people nowadays
