I have and you're right, the forum is much better for it. Took me a bit ov time to figure that out though. Maybe the mods can ban certain people from eachother to have some civility back. or maybe just people take responsibility for their own actions and be civil I'm clearly not on the Left-Right S...

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 ...

You are doing that. Neither Rubberman nor I called Antic "extremist". I said he was at the "extreme right" of SA federal politicians. You have not demonstrated anyone else is further right, nor demonstrated Antic is centrist. Being re-/mis-interpreted is tiring. No wonder others...

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...

You need to consider the consequences of using such slurs. You cant go around calling someone extreme right wing or a right wing extremist then claim it was all an innocent misunderstanding. Who is doing that? There's a dictionary meaning for extreme. I would say that if someone is on the wing of a...

I think many people's "policy position" is far more nuanced than can easily be projected to a single left-right axis. People's position on that one axis could be different depending on the topic of the day. I've never seen a serious attempt to quantify a position on that axis, so we can't...

but rubberman called him "extreme right wing" 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, j...

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 been reserved. At this point, the only way of extricating ourselves from this appalling lack of foresight is to reserve a rail corridor outside of the developmen...

Back to politics, does anyone know when the counting is going to resume? How many prepoll centres were there? Were prepoll votes handled as an additional ordinary polling place or as a lot of declaration votes? If it's an ordinary polling place, then the staff will have to empty all the ballot boxe...

... Apparently a base tunnel under the Mount Lofty Ranges was considered back in the 60s. The idea never went anywhere, although apparently not because of technical issues. This article is an interesting read: https://www.ozroads.com.au/SA/New/1/PrincesM/history.htm A fascinating history and there ...

no you called them "extreme right wing" once again, its a label you applied and yet cannot provide any substance to OK - a quick summary from skimming Antic's Twitter feed. You are welcome to add to the list from your checks. Parliament has become as Woke as ABC Headquarters The Senate ha...

its just a label you've applied...its meaningless unless you can provide some substance No, it's a label Antic has applied to himself. Quite happily. If it's meaningless, or you don't understand, he has a website. I must say that your refusal to expend the slightest bit of effort in informing yours...

South Australia records lowest employment rate in the nation for February SA’s unemployment rate has dropped to a record low figure – the best result in Australia – as the national figure also dived, dashing hopes of an imminent cut to interest rates.

no, the AFL manipulates AFL memberships. You can buy a dog a membership and its included as a member in their final figures. Its an allegory to what the government does. You might need to look that word up. I see you still haven't figured out what the headline actually says. Finally figured out wha...
