Re: News & Developments: Glenelg
The 2018 Masterplan talks about the potential relocation of the tram stop to Colley Tce so they can better utilise Moseley Square. Judging by those concept drawings, that won't be happening. Would be good if they could do a bit of a loop around Glenelg, and bring the tram/add a stop near the marina

Re: The SA Politics Thread
There are a total of 47 representatives in the Lower House. A party needs a majority of 24 seats to govern. There are 5 crossbenchers. Labor already had 27 seats. Very likely to increase that majority to 28 seats, with the Dunstan by election win. Liberals had 15 seats, now down to 14 most likely. ...

Re: Riverlea (Buckland Park) | 12,000 dwellings | $3b
Some people on this forum complain about sprawling suburbia on productive farmland. Some complain about excessive commute time/distance. Now we have people wanting to build housing and a new railway line+station on land that is zoned as primary production horticulture. I'm the one who thinks people...

Re: The SA Politics Thread
Labor maintains lead in tight Dunstan by-election as count continues More than half of the early and postal votes in Saturday’s Dunstan by-election were for Liberal candidate Anna Finizio, but Labor’s Cressida O’Hanlon maintains the lead as the count continues. The Electoral Commission of South Aus...

Re: Riverlea (Buckland Park) | 12,000 dwellings | $3b
It would be wise to: - Reserve land for a rail corridor - Or, even wiser, halt all further development and rip up the nasty, cheap contract with Walker Corp. Agreed. The issue is that they did not reserve land for a rail corridor, and they are now building on top of all the land that could have bee...

Re: The SA Politics Thread
Who is doing that? There's a dictionary meaning for extreme. I would say that if someone is on the wing of a party that's the furthest, either right or left, then it falls within the meaning of extreme as per the dictionary. Were we to trawl back through posts on this forum, I bet that someone has ...

Re: Riverlea (Buckland Park) | 12,000 dwellings | $3b
Riverlea Park doesn't need a "metro"......an ordinary suburban train would be suffice. And Riverlea shouldn't be the terminus either....it should be Two Wells ...marking the contiguous end of the Adelaide suburban sprawl. Plan for it now.....reserving the corridor....making any new develo...

Re: The SA Politics Thread
Saying that someone is probably the extreme right member of federal parliament can also be construed as the furthest right. That's how I read it. ASIO might say that Extreme right is fanatical, but I don't believe we have any fanatics in our federal parliament. It's loaded language, and it influenc...

Re: The SA Politics Thread
What did you find to suggest otherwise? Are you actually suggesting someone like Alex Antic is "extreme right wing" ? Not aiming this at you SBD, but this is a tactic used by the radical left (not to be confused with the left wing, just like someone who is a conservative shouldn't be conf...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Airport & Airlines
As someone with family in the South Island of NZ the one on this list that really annoys me is the lack of direct connection to Christchurch. Air NZ, Virgin or Qantas could do it easily with a new A320 or 737 if they wanted to, and a direct flight would turn a direct trip between Adelaide and Chris...

Re: The Housing Crisis
Why wouldn't you state that the JapNese population is falling by nearly 2 million and now 125 million with a GDP of 4.2 trillion which is about a 25% fall. Thats a little disingenuous. They are in deep trouble because of their ageing population. I'm aware of their ageing population. The point was t...
