Thanks Bulldozer. It is curious my comments are attributed to anti ALP, go figure. I have asked what the hell was the former federal Liberal Government doing to allow things to get that bad? I suggest Howard’s legacy was simply that he held on when he could have done so much for this country. I am...

Am I the only one who thinks it is a stain on this Government that just $13.4 Million was enough to wipe the 12 month waiting list out? We all know the State Governement is flush with cash from the GST and they even rake in more than that from speed cameras yet they don't feel it prudent to address ...

Um PhilM, most of us on here couldn't give a toss about state politics, and what govt is in power. What we care about is making our city better in terms of development. Therein lies the conundrum. If you don't have an effective Government that cares more for the State than it does for its own Polit...

The adds are run by the Lamb Corporation trying to create an image that the eating of lamb is an Australian thing to do and using Australia day as the hook. Very clever but he is certainly beginning to push the limits of vilification but I ain't no tassle haired moron that could use a shower so I ai...

Don't be so damn precious. Truth is Port Arthur has done very well out of its tragic reputation. The crying shame is the Liberals thought it was worth getting together and making an issue out of it. Heaven knows there are issues that have the potential to make SA's most successful business the South...

Tram to nowhere simply refers to a tram that actually stops before it gets anywhere, let alone is not part of a grander plan. And lets not discuss their lack of suitability for this climate, or the fact they are too small! If Rann and Conlon had said this was the first stage (going to the Marg and n...

I was blown away by the Hilux to the North Pole. The human story it told was as amazing as the one about the truck!

Re: Idea's to improve our public transport by PhilM on Sun Jan 13, 2008 2:34 pm The O'Bahn was about as visionary as the one way freeway and the tram to nowhere! Scrap the lot and start with a clean sheet. A star network of light rail that initially goes to the main points such as Port Adelaide, Hen...

Maybe you should check the "Visions" thread!

It is humbling to cop personal attacks from those espousing informed opinion and research! I especially like the one that went on to say the Tram track ends at a point for future extensions. Doh! Instant gratification may well suit those spruiking for the Government but as a society we deserve far m...

I guess you would rather I said nothing and when it hits the fan say I told so? Sorry buddy, I got 4 kids and I actually don't want them spending the next 18 years paying of a debt that should never have been.

I completely agree, lets learn from the mistakes of the past, do everything we can to ensure it doesn't happen again and move forward. We all accept that in the past we had a petulant and narcissistic chairman of a Statutory authority nearly bankrupt SA! Today we have an equally petulant, exceedingl...

Muzzamo, Apart from apathy, can you name a greater threat to the future of this great state? If this was 1990 and I was talking about the State Bank, you would be siding with Tim Marcus-Clarke. Think about it, WorkCover has generated more debt and faster than the State Bank did and as with the State...

The O'Bahn was about as visionary as the one way freeway and the tram to nowhere! Scrap the lot and start with a clean sheet. A star network of light rail that initially goes to the main points such as Port Adelaide, Henley, Gawler, Golden Grove, Newton, Noarlunga and Glenelg. Create a bus interchan...

Oh and don't forget that 2007 was the year the SA Assets Management Corporation finally resolved the State Bank debt created 17 years ago by a Labor Government appointed Chairman and nepotistic Board later described by the Auditor General as “incompetent”, “failing to take heed of warnings”,...
