Obviously. I am looking how it could work, that does not mean it will happen. However the mere threat could itself ensure change.

Hello everyone! I have been brain storming for a project of mine in regards to the benefits and downfalls of South Australia declaring independence (leaving the federation). And who better then the good folk of Sensational-Adelaide to provide feedback, to the state (former?) and city they love. Firs...

The constant doom & gloom reports don't help business confidence much either. Sure there are real issues, but the habit of constantly talking ourselves down is a self-fulfilling prophecy. True and not true. I don't think I've ever seen a positive economic report about Adelaide/SA... Ever? Yet w...

Fundamental changes do have to occur in SA for things to change on the economic front. But our hands are very much tied now that our financial situation is very precarious. We need to reduce our taxes to the Lowest in the country & reduce our spending. Imagine if we had no pay roll tax, the empl...

I don't think Port Adelaide is going to see gradual improvement. Indeed I think at the moment you could say it is dead, and beginning to rot. Its going to take a fundamental change to the city for a new life of sorts to begin. To take the elements that could work and then start from scratch. Rethink...

Most fights i see start from at least one person who is LOOKING for a fight. No matter what controls you put in place there is always going to be violence. Only education especially for younger males about the damage a single punch can do will change things. And thats going to take many years, and s...

I still imagine a statue on one of the hills in Adelaide every now and than. I think it truly would look great and be an attraction to see. As someone pointed out, Mt Lofty is great but there is nothing up there. Put a tower up there, a statue on a lower hill (My preference being on the Urrbrae Hill...

What is the general feeling on this forum in regards to the tram line to Port Adelaide? Would it fix their problems? Or perhaps provide the platform for rejuvenation? Everytime I travel to Pt Adelaide i see the potential in it. I really do. Port Road, The train line, the port itself. But it would be...

Whether you like Barnett or not, he is an outstanding leader, and is doing exactly what the job of the Premier is to do, and that is to look out in the best interests of the State which they govern, even if it is at the expense of others. Same goes for Anna Bligh and Jeff Kennett. Bligh & Kenne...

James, don't forget ODX is an existing & very large operational mine, 2nd largest in australia. It's the expansion that's in the news. SA has approx 20 operating mines bringing about $120m in royalties each year. this is a handy search tool --> http://www.australianminesatlas.gov.au/ . The most...

For the Sth Australian voting population I think the BIGGEST issue has to be the GST policy of Abbott. If he agrees with a per capita distribution this will financial disaster for SA. If Abbott supports it and you vote liberal, prepare for the worst in SA. You simply cannot take another $1b out of ...

Bingo. My bad!

The WA position is an utter joke. If they what more GST funding then the the rest of the Country should be requesting they have different interest rates and $AUD rates applied. Your silly rhetoric aside, different interest rates for funding infrastructure would be a great improvement on the current...

The problem is getting worse. Add in thousands of new residents into barker, LH & Nairne and uh oh. Where is the forward planning? As someone said the placing of the ambo station at the GOR/GWR was ridiculously stupid. Remove parking, reduce RH turns & put indented bus stops (is that what yo...

Actually just found an article. They are drilling 4 exploration wells right now. Should know of we have a game changer in the next couple of months. Fingers crossed!
