[U/C] Re: M2 North-South Motorway

Be careful what you wish for: residents didn't want to have to live near a bridge, so their house will be bulldozed to make space for more lanes leading to traffic lights. The state's new attitude to heritage means that the heritage-listed cemetery can have a road built over part of it. Rightly or ...

[SWP] Re: New Womens and Childrens Hospital

Looking through the report into various site options I am again truly baffled that the Australia Post, Riverbank Edge or Coca/Cola sites weren't even looked at or considered. Their scope for possible alternative locations was far too narrow. Shameful process. Agree on Riverbank Edge for considerati...

[SWP] New Womens and Childrens Hospital

Can’t please everyone it would seem. Oh well I for one am more than happy with the outcome and beats the previous site, but do agree with comments about the car park. Cost also seems a bit rich and would be interested to know the future proofing options for further expansion (more than the extra 20 ...

That site is being re-purposed as a building ideas centre and is undergoing renovations.

[U/C] Re: M2 North-South Motorway

I don't think anyone living in the shadows of an elevated motorway would be supportive. Especially in Adelaide where a north-south orientation would mean people on either side would never see a sunset or sunrise from their properties again. Luigi Rossi's proposal for an elevated motorway was quite ...

[U/C] M2 North-South Motorway

Kouts holds his seat at a 2PP rate of 68% and doubled the liberal vote on first preferences, so anyone who thinks he’s in jeopardy of losing his seat because of a project of State Significance spanning across the city (including suburbs of West Torrens) has rocks in their head. Did labor lose Croydo...

[U/C] Re: M2 North-South Motorway

Little has been said about public transport integration. Bus routes to the south, near Happy Valley, could be quite fast if buses use the motorway. What we need are bus lanes along ANZAC Highway to the tunnel. Express buses to the city will be popular, but if they keep the bus routes on surface roa...

News & Discussion: General CBD Development

Now that the railyards sports arena proposal is off the cards, DIT have moved very swiftly to turn a chunk of that land into a new paved carpark, complete with new fencing and lighting. Yikes. That's nasty. One would assume this patch would be the prime candidate for the new Women’s and Children’s ...

Federal election 2022

Ha ha ha seriously, Pauline Hanson who’s idea to fix society was just to keep printing more money (without understanding the issue behind it). That wasn’t a gaffe, it was a major misunderstanding economics / finance. Palmer who’s only interested in himself and populist vote buying policies with no s...

Federal election 2022

ScoMo and the liberals have had plenty of governance and policy gaffes. Is that worse than Albo forgetting his lines or making an error in front a pack of vulture media? How about Robodebt where people committed suicide because of ‘gaffes’ made by the Department. We don’t have a presidential system....

Federal election 2022

Ok Albo fucked up the numbers (not great hey). However the alternative (current) option is tired, corrupt, divided. Can we really stand another 3 years of that rabble, good grief. ScoMo is a compulsive lier and a master deflector (“I don’t agree with the premise of your question” - smirk). How does ...

SA State Election 2022

If this new hydrogen plant ever gets built, and I mean IF they are dumb enough to do it....I can't wait to sit back and watch the clusterf%ck it turns into. It'll almost be funny, if they weren't using tax payers money to build and run it. Leave that experimental stuff to the private sector, who ac...

SA State Election 2022

The new Premier has decided to recycle Tom Koutsantonis into the position of Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, also Minister for Mining and Energy. I realise he was the shadow Minister, but this MP is not cut out for these important roles. By that I really mean, he's incompetent :roll: I u...

Re: SA State Election 2022

What's with the fixation of trams in this forum? I like them as much as the next person, but it seems like a tram extension is all that's needed to win the vote for ppl in here. It's a concrete policy that people understand. Saying "I'm going to build a tram to X" is more believable than ...
