Re: News & Discussion: Adelaide Airport & Airlines
As someone with family in the South Island of NZ the one on this list that really annoys me is the lack of direct connection to Christchurch. Air NZ, Virgin or Qantas could do it easily with a new A320 or 737 if they wanted to, and a direct flight would turn a direct trip between Adelaide and Chris...

Re: The Housing Crisis
Why wouldn't you state that the JapNese population is falling by nearly 2 million and now 125 million with a GDP of 4.2 trillion which is about a 25% fall. Thats a little disingenuous. They are in deep trouble because of their ageing population. I'm aware of their ageing population. The point was t...

Re: Forum Etiquette
I think some people just need to put each other on block and leave it at that. Or maybe Howie or the mods can manually do that? I know it's definitely made the forum more enjoyable and relaxed for me having those people blocked. Definitely doesn't look like much is missed except for whose a boomer a...

Re: The Housing Crisis
Every country's economy requires growth. To tie economic growth to migration is a mistake. Does Japan or Singapore require massive immigration for continued economic growth? When Japan's economy slows, have they opened their borders to third world migrants with fake r sub standard qualifications, to...

Re: The Housing Crisis
Lol no one sensible is saying Negative Gearing is the only cause of the housing crisis. It's a combination of a range of factors, including Negative Gearing, ongoing high immigration, capital gains tax changes two decades ago, NIMBY groups blocking development in many areas, problems with the plann...

Re: The Housing Crisis
Like some of us have been saying, and others have been burying their heads in the ideological sands of stupidity, here you go. More experts, more facts. But the usual suspects will bury their heads in the sand, make excuses, and insult people's intelligence or attack the source because the facts don...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure
Such a lack of self awareness on your part. I'm guessing the cult of Elon, the government funding grift merchant changed your mind on EVs. No, i don't give a shit about Elon Musk, I'm just all for technological advancement as a society and species, if it comes from people like Elon Musk great, if i...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure
But don’t wind & solar get subsidies as well? Suddenly subsidies are ok when it’s the right type of generation? Also, I don’t get why so many people here are against literally just legalising nuclear power? Yeah, it might not get built but I personally don’t believe the government should be dic...

Re: News & Discussion: Electricity Infrastructure
Given that private industry isn't even remotely interested unless there's heavy taxpayer subsidy, and that the history of major projects over the past 15 years is deplorable, you'd think it would be political suicide. That's not even considering the NIMBY vote. The best option would be to quietly d...

Re: SA Economy
Godfrey's somehow got themselves into the position of not selling what people were buying. Eg Dyson and robots. I assume that was Godfrey's wanting more control over price and distribution but major manufacturers deciding they didn't need Godfrey's at all. Mr Dishwasher I am sure started as dishwas...

Re: SA Economy
Iconic vacuum retailer Godfreys has collapsed, leaving workers from six SA stores without a job We bought our first vacuum cleaner from Godfreys in the early 1990s. It's kind of surprising that an entity could have existed for so long with over 140 shops in such a narrow market segment. Probably co...
