Re: Proposed - Bay Junction re-development - Glenelg -$60million

Glenelg is lame and it will always be lame, ever tried heading out to the bay for a night out? My god, very tragic.. it's like a shopping strip for retirees.. the only decent thing about Glenelg was the old Aladdin's Castle and the waterslides at Magic Mountain..

Re: Alexander Downer Our Future Premier?

Downer has since denied that he stated he wanted to be premier, he has claimed it was all "hypothetical"...(not sure if I believe that) I think he Had to backtrack a bit, as his statement could be potentially damaging to the Liberal Party in the coming Federal Election, not to mention dama...

Re: Cooper Basin Carbon Dump

Interesting, is this the first geological carbon sequestration project in Australia? I'm not even sure how tested this process is on a worldwide basis, although apparently CO2 has been injected into declining oil fields for over 30 years to increase oil yields. Although I think more money should be ...

Re: Adelaide a city, not a town - Mike Duffy Blog

In distinction to Syd, Melb, Perth, Bris - Adelaide wasn't built on a harbour/by the sea (for completely logical reasons, ie access to fresh water - in those days the Torrens LOL).. I think this has been probably the biggest factor in its stagnation compared to other cbd's..

Re: Desalination plant for Adelaide

This has been an excellent discussion, with some very considered opinions, we all agree that something need to be done..

Re: Desalination plant for Adelaide

Bulldozer said: Who cares about the fishies when it's our lives on the line? Marion Bay has a desalination plant because they didn't dick around waiting for the government - they went and contracted a company that specialises in desalination to do it for them. I agree melodramatic indeed! Who cares...

I got a mate who moved from Adelaide to Melbourne, he has been looking for a rental place for three weeks in Melbourne, no luck, he might have to resort to living out at Bacchus Marsh, apparently 50 mins from the CBD... so its the same situation where ever you go..

Re: Fairer water restrictions

Water restrictions are completely fair enough in my opinion, my partner and I are have a vege garden at the moment, luckily we have a watertank fed only off the garage roof (but it is full at the moment, despite a very dry August), we use no mains water at all to water our garden, fingers crossed ho...
