Won't be Pisoni. The transport and infrastructure, housing and urban development, city of Adelaide, and local government roles have just been given to Stephan Knoll, member for Schubert (in the Barossa).

You're telling me that the Minister for the Adelaide CBD is some guy from the Barossa?

And that the Minister for Transport, Urban Development and Infrastructure is a guy who represents a region that boasts none of these things. He's got no Knoll-edge of these things.

The Minister for Adelaide should have been the bloody representative of Adelaide herself! Rachel Sanderson??

What an epic fail.

This is from Gawler Place last night

She's been given child protection
This makes me think she is on her way out so they are just helping her along
I know off topic
But yes the footpaths and gutters along the route are a mess and I hope they are attended to soon

Rachel is definitely one of those "won't somebody please think of the children" people, so it could be the perfect portfolio for her.

Seriously Shuz that is a pretty ordinary post. Our last state treasurer was a taxi driver but those here didnt seem too phased.

Give the bloke a chance. Although big chance is that he has a focus on regional infrastructure as well.

This is true, and our regional infrastructure is very poor indeed.

Well let their cherished market forces take care of that and not pork barelling

I'm open to admitting that I'm traditionally a young Labor voter, so the recent election result isn't ideal from my perspective and how I'd like to see things go for this state. However, given this state will have a Liberal state government for at-least the next four years, I'm actually happy to see the Libs pick up projects in areas that Labor have failed to pick up which is particularly in regional areas and business red-tape. I'd prefer for the Libs to shelve rather than butcher the pet-projects of Labor which includes trams (unless they actually choose to extend to North Adelaide).

Let’s have a short break from the election post mortem…
Not much time this morning… only two stops, the last photo is ex RAH is taken from distance… sorry, I was already late. Hoping for some more time, next time...

The city colourful past.

Adelaide City Council has commissioned artist Marina Amaral to add waves of colour to a series of vintage black and white photos for a special exhibition in Rundle Mall.

Two photos with trams

Beehive Corner, 1909. Eletric trams + one horse drawn tram(?)



Pulteney Street, 1913

Currently no trams running between Beckman Street Glandore and Glenelg due to a "technical issue.(hopefully not another pantograph incident).
Several trams with passengers stranded, awaiting replacement buses which are hard to come by with lots of extras out on Footy Express services.
Bad time for this to happen with nearly all the fleet out for Footy services as well as normal services.

Typical
Liberals have only been in one week and the trams are stuffing up already
