Now with Beer Garden for our smoking patrons.AdeLink as a concept hasn't been around all that long.claybro wrote:It wasn't proposed under Abbott. I thought it came to life once Turdball reallocated focus from roads and freight, to include urban transport projects. Adelink as a concept has not been around that long, I thought it was a State government thought bubble to attract some newly redirected federal funds in the current state term.
But the state gov. vision to expand the tram network has been around longer then the label AdeLink.
That's the thing with this Labor state government. The visions, the ideas, they exist.
Them articulating them into something coherent so the voting public can understand that they have a vision for this state, and actually get those things done properly, is another thing though.
Someone asked why so much hate on Marshall, when we have Weatherill as Premier.
If the Liberals have any vision, any plans, any ideas, who the hell knows, the public certainly don't know. Well, except for the pie in the sky nonsense they come up with like a freight only airport..because we have soo much export freight leaving this state that there's justification for billions to be thrown at a single use airport. Morons.
The Labor government isn't perfect. BUT, at least they have some sort of vision. At least they are doing something. I'm very critical of how slow progress is in this state. But at least it's progress, at least we are trickling forward, instead of going backwards. It's a start.
What do the Liberals offer?
What we do know about the Liberals, so called "conservatives", is that they will more then likely put a stop to public transport spending.
There will be no more work done to electrify the train network and bring it into 21st century. There will be no tram network expansion.
I'd be very surprised if the Liberals got in to power, if they even continued work on the North-South Corridor. If anything, it's highly possible that they will put a stop to any further work being done, and use it as a tool to bash the Labor party with over spending and deficits etc. IF the Liberals were to get into government, expect spending cuts left right and centre, to everything. What you will get though, is a 'big' project here, or there. No plan, no vision.
The Liberal party are simply hoping to get into government by telling people that Labor is bad, by telling people that they should have had enough of the Labor party as government after a decade and a half in power.
What the Liberal party hasn't done at previous elections, and more then likely wont do again at this coming election, is come up with a solid vision and plan for our city and state.
What they wont do is show us how they will be a better alternative to Labor.
Their standard operating procedure has been and continues to be, "put downs" aimed at the Government, or specific ministers.
These idiots have no bloody vision.
The same muppet politicians in the Liberal party who were around when we were kids or young adults, are still around in the Liberal party today.
Labor at least has new faces at the front.
Do you know why Mike Rann and Kevin Foley walked away? Because if they remained, Labor wouldn't have remained in power.
The Liberals are out of touch, they don't get it.
They stuck a jellyfish puppet in the hot seat, Steven Marshall, but behind him it's largely the same clowns before him.
Even Alexander Downer has given up on the circus that is the SA Liberal Party.
And at this stage I'm planning on voting for Australian Conservatives, depending on who they run in my electorate.
