It's funny I would never really notice these gum trees in that location until someone pointed it out, even though i've probably seen them hundreds of times :lol:

I wonder how those particular trees have managed to survive all these years. I like it THB 8)

The CommSec State of the States report has been released for the March '24 quarter. S.A has retained its number 1 ranking, topping 4 of the 8 categories.

There was a gigantic mobile crane mobilized, it actually looked like the lift was for the PWC building and not this development. Something at the roof ...

[COM] Re: Festival Plaza Incl. 115m Tower | $800 million

agree about the Weatherill era, he was a great Premier. Rebuilding Adelaide Oval in particular has been the most transformational project for this city in decades. I don't think this is true, Adelaide Oval and the push towards renewables was kick-started by the Rann/Foley government. I feel that th...

No I haven’t been in delusional land like our premiere I also live in London. But no one from home has mentioned anything so I’m confused. South Australia has had a struggling economy for ages what changed ? You should tune into the SA Economy thread in the forum a bit more, SA's economy has been t...

Re: The Housing Crisis

I wonder what it means to "afford a house". Presumably it means to borrow and service a loan with minimum deposit. But is "a house" a detached four-bedroom home with two bathrooms, separate study/WFH room and lockable parking for two cars and a boat/caravan suitable for a family...

Re: SA Economy

Reported today on numerous news sites, S.A's unemployment rate has dropped to 3.2% in February.

This is the lowest on record and the first time ever S.A's has been the lowest in the country.

I'd imagine modern residences have a lot less carpet and more tiles/floorboards than they did 30 or 40 years ago.

Re: SA Economy

South Australia has had negative interstate migration since the 1970s, as has New South Wales. It's been an ongoing issue for both states for a very long time. I'm not sure that's entirely true. I thought S.A's net interstate migration losses only became entrenched from 90/91 onwards (State Bank co...

Re: The Federal Politics Thread

[Howard also helped create the housing crisis through the removal of the capital gains tax on housing, making it much more lucrative for wealthy investors to buy up property in bulk (no surprise that most Federal MPs from all parties own multiple properties). That is partially true, here is an exce...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure

I guess the question from myself and most South Australians who have limited knowledge on how the whole electricity generation/supply/retail system works, is when are we going to actually see our power bills reduce? We have been sold this narrative that renewable were supposed to lead to cheaper pr...
