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

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...

Re: The SA Politics Thread

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...

Re: The SA Politics Thread

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...

Re: Riverlea (Buckland Park) | 12,000 dwellings | $3b

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...

Re: The SA Politics Thread

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...

[VIS] Re: Passenger Trains to Mount Barker

... 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.

Re: The SA Politics Thread

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...

Re: The SA Politics Thread

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...

Re: SA Economy

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...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure

That's why you don't just rely on wind, and where you are using wind generation have it spread across a variety of locations. Can you share an example of the weather conditions that you think could lead to no wind across the state? You cant have turbines everywhere. You do realise you've got to bui...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure

Given that private industry isn't even remotely interested unless there's heavy taxpayer subsidy, and that the history of major projects over the past 15 years is deplorable, you'd think it would be political suicide. That's not even considering the NIMBY vote. The best option would be to quietly d...
