I didn't I'm not sure you can blindly blame "the media" - even social media. I'm pretty sure it was "the media" who told me there were multiple candidates for preselection in the safe seat I live in. It was "the Party" (or the faceless men in the back room) who chose t...

So they should kick a few dollars into this instead of relying on state government funding. ACC seems to be quite capable of asserting that the entire state benefits from infrastructure that any other council would fund for itself - community swimming pool for example. Do be fair, the number of peo...

this seems unnecessary Some people regard all speed limits are unnecessary. It's clear that the people who understand these things have decided there is sufficient reason to change it. They say it will improve safety and reduce crashes, based on modelling and reviews. I guess time will tell if the ...

I live in a street right on the edge of the suburbs, in an estate that this release was opened for sale about 14 years ago. This release was marketed as being dotted with mature trees. I think the developers had removed as much as they could before it went on sale. I'd say about half of the remainin...

majority are, not all we have proof of that from 2019-2021 era I didn't say there was no point I said it was not realistic to expect the majority will make better choices as you put it due to the control the media have over the narrative abc. Seriously. You can't just call everyone stupid all the t...

As part of the ACCs new city plan they are advocating for a city loop as part of their strategy 6. https://meetings.cityofadelaide.com.au/mgChooseDocPack.aspx?ID=938 So they should kick a few dollars into this instead of relying on state government funding. ACC seems to be quite capable of assertin...

Most public discourse of the "problem" seeks to introduce engineered "solutions" that rely on a panicked driver (who has likely already made at least one mistake) suddenly choosing to do something that is dangerous to themselves in the hopes of not injuring some hypothetical othe...

The speed limit on Tapleys Hill Road between Africaine Road and Sir Donald Bradman Drive will be reduced from 80 to 60 from Friday 31 May. https://www.facebook.com/DFITSA/posts/pfbid08FvkEBPh11ghnNfcgsb92WefQmFrVMN71fSP6N3D7qMiind43GLzpVHnAZKitC5Ul No point, there are few side streets and the road ...

this bodes well :oops: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GNqv5LLbMAAgs39?format=png&name=small https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GNpU03Fa0AMlnTs?format=jpg&name=large So California had more expensive electricity, and now it has even more expensive electricity. Do we know what the cost drivers are? Wiki...

That doesnt seem right. The Tram Grade Sep program alone is a $400m 50:50 state/feds contribution. not that i dont want even more rail investment, but the numbers dont seem to align. Grade separation programs aren't really an investment in public transport, though. They benefit road users more so t...

Why not just install a concrete barrier in the median strip of Cross Rd? Sure, this wouldn't stop traffic heading west on Cross Rd from being hit by an out of control truck, but neither would moving the stop line for the intersection further east. There's probably not enough concrete in all of Sout...

The concrete channel seems absolutely required though unfortunately, at peak periods the water flow through there is massive and the drains are part of the infrastructure for preventing potential flooding of the area, have often thought how wonderful it would be if it could be more similar to the T...

The teal 'independents' will never hold government. They were only elected in elite areas as they're backed by big corporate money who stand to financially gain from the policies they advocate. Do you have a better solution? Continuing to allow faceless men to control who is available to be elected...

That's just not realistic. The majors monopolize the media and the overwhelming majority will always vote either red or blue. That's clearly not always true - there were a bunch of "teal independents" elected two years ago. Collectively, we either agree to elect whichever party hack the b...
