Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Airport & Airlines
I posted this last week but wasn't very clear. In it, United talk about their 150 x 787 orders, and while Adelaide isn't specifically mentioned, it does say this: “There is a lot of potential [about Australia / NZ],” he said. “I’m not going to comment on specifics, but we absolutely have a lot of p...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure
Plantation timber is usually used to build stuff, so counts as carbon capture and storage. One of those pages pointed out that Aleppo Pines don’t form hollows for nesting, and it was an environmental monoculture. They are planting native understory around the solar farm to increase biodiversity and...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains
I agree that increasing rail speeds is a priority, but removing stations is not the only (or the ideal) way to do this. Gawler line station spacing is mostly 1-2km apart - perfectly normal for urban heavy rail or modern metro rail. Yes, there are a small number of stations which it would make sense...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains
The new housing developments under construction around Roseworthy are projected to to eventually add 12,000 people to the area. A Gawler to Roseworthy extension would be a similar length to the Seaford to Aldinga extension, so not unrealistic. But unlike Aldinga you have the chance to build a quali...

Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Metro Trains
I'm curious - what do people see as the purpose of bringing back rail services to Roseworthy and the Barossa Valley? Is it so that those areas can lose their "country charm" and become more sprawling suburbs full of detached housing for people who commute further to the Adelaide CBD? Is i...

Re: SA Economy
2021 is Victorians fleeing Dictator Dan's totalitarian dystopia Just before Victorians returned the ALP to power with a crushing victory...effectively endorsing everything he did. It must have made Sky "news" (lol) foam at the mouth at their impotence and irrelevance that nobody with the ...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure
Using the boffins brains on this forum, can someone please explain why you u can't transport electricity with fibre optic cables?? I understand that they are not conductive so you would need to transfer electricity into light and then have receptors or converters at the other end (like solar panels...

Re: SA Economy
I'm not sure that's entirely true. I thought S.A's net interstate migration losses only became entrenched from 90/91 onwards (State Bank collapse and extended recession). Happy to see some stats though, I might even look it up myself at some point. Here's the net interstate migration flow from 1981...

Re: The Housing Crisis
The high level problem is that the Federal Government gets income tax revenue from more skilled migrants. It needs that extra money to balance the books, otherwise the "Debt and Deficit!!" hawks start screaming. The public has been conditioned to believe that debt and deficit are bad, and ...

Re: The Housing Crisis
Page 2 includes a long article that includes a quote that housing construction was already slowing. Nobody (in the article or here) has attempted to either challenge or explain that statement. There seems to be plenty of land "released" for housing. Has somebody done an analysis of what i...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure
"this was a stuff up" is not exactly journalistic language but then I realised this publication came from "Renew Economy" blog. Their editorial license put a spin on the unrelated facts in the article to slant it in a way to indicate there was no fault of renewables. Yeah. Renew...
