It puzzles me that the focus is to (re-)extend rail to Concordia because the government has "released for housing" some land there. There are several hundred hectares of land on the northern end of the current suburbs (south of Gawler) that were released for housing by the Rann government...

The problem seems to be that since PT infrastructure is very stop and start, getting ahead of problems by building good stuff from the start incurs the scrutiny of costs, without generating substantial goodwill from seemingly having listened to and solving a bunch of people's frustrating situations....

Am I reading this right? A business lobby who traditionally advocates on behalf of motorists, is advocating for better public transport services? Should have been done ten years ago but better late than never. I was surprised, but that's how obviously bad our growth strategy of building housing fir...

Plus, I'm not sure if it's true of all their stores, but everything feels so needlessly spread out - there are multiple different chilled goods sections all over the store. Cheese and yoghurt is in one section near the front of the store, milk is right at the back next to the bakery, eggs are somew...

Expected standard climate leftist response, spin and more spin. On the plus side for you and rubberman, you'd both make great politicians by todays standards of what we see. *yawn* For the millionth time, it's ok for people to say no to fossil fuels and people who would make the world a worse place.

Great! Can't wait until the point when it's not just net >100% renewables, but there is basically never any need to fallback on imported fossil power.

It would certainly make the state feel more connected if you could go to Adelaide Train Station and see the boards advertising trains to destinations like Pirie, Gambier, or even Tanunda.

In 2018 Labor was very clear that a big motivator for the chosen City Link route was exactly what you say, to stimulate development in the city. Did they end up actually choosing a desired route? Last I recalled they had three options for a city tram loop before the 2018 election but their being vo...

Governments and corporates have extensive red tape. They would prefer to spend quite large amounts of money to make sure they could not be liable for even larger amounts of money. Safety, documenting, certifying, competency and such that simply isn't done in smaller work places. As these liability ...

I don't know the exact story about why this didnt occur but it would have been nice if either Libs or Labor followed in on their plan for trams down Grote St instead of the drama about a right hand turn on KW and North Terrace, might have helped office demand in this space but oh well. I imagine we...

Edit: removed, numbers already posted

I'm all in favour of the state government taking over for decisions in the parklands, if the state government will also be responsible for funding the parklands as they need/deserve.

The embarrassment is that we need to look to an overseas corporation and government. We have a whole bloody continent of resources. Yes Australia has a relatively small population, but with good planning there is no reason we couldn't be preparing for these sort of infrastructure needs ahead of time...

Origin Energy has made a half yearly profit of $747 million, up from $44 million last year. Origin alone have 77,000 customers in hardship, that is on plans to pay off their bill. Three quarters of a billion in half a year PROFIT. And that's just one energy retailer. Tell us again how remewables an...
