Our state government is sleeping at the wheel if they aren't working this federal election to get more funding for projects in SA.


There's not really a lot they can do - with only 2 marginal seats in the entire state, one of each colour, there's little incentive for either Fed party to do more ...

Pretty major crash on the O-Bahn today, right at the northern end where the track exit goes under Smart Rd before turning sharply right to hook the bus around the island that is the TTP interchange; instead of turning right at 20km/h the bus has gone straight on into the large gum tree there, at ...

At least the Roseworthy corridor is still there and intact - they could just send one crew on a budget out there to start now, and by the time they finished cleaning up the plants and crossings, and re-laying all the rails and sleepers, Roseworthy would be just about ready to need it

Interesting take on the back bone of the Australian economy. The people you just described as the stupidest people you've ever met, are responsible for 1/3 of the Australia's GDP, and employ over 5 million Australians out of a total workforce of roughly 14 million.


I think you'll find the ...

It's the repeated pain more than the length for me. Within 10 years they'll need to shut down again to remove level crossings at least Beckman St and Goodwood Road. I'd rather they just do them all now.

Goodwood Rd maybe, but Beckman St? I highly doubt it.

They're both the only remainig ...

Doesn't give you much hope in the capacity of South Australia business owners.

We are worried about costs, let's invest in something that's going to be most expensive for us to invest in


People who describe themselves as small business owners are generally the stupidest people you've ever met ...

I don't think they'd be going there if they couldn't have live music, it's a core value.

Should also help the proprietors learn how to deal with a tower of student neighbours, and give them experience at trying to get some of them through the doors.

Rivers at the Myer Centre is closing too.

Rivers is closing full stop, KPMG couldn't find a buyer while trying to bail out Mosaic so the entire brand is going in the bin and every location is closing

I guess I'll just have to hope they were publicly shit talking any kind of future improvements purely to force Torrens Connect's cooperation, and have long secretly planned to slowly change their tune on the way to some campaign promises next year

I'm wondering if (more hoping) the government has been holding off on tram network expansion plans until the network is returned to public hands? Made it easier to get back, and they can announce big plans for the network owned by the people of SA heading into the next election.

Hopefully station improvements and frequency changes now start rolling off the planning board in the lead up to the next election
