The embarrassment is that we need to look to an overseas corporation and government. We have a whole bloody continent of resources. Yes Australia has a relatively small population, but with good planning there is no reason we couldn't be preparing for these sort of infrastructure needs ahead of time...

Origin Energy has made a half yearly profit of $747 million, up from $44 million last year. Origin alone have 77,000 customers in hardship, that is on plans to pay off their bill. Three quarters of a billion in half a year PROFIT. And that's just one energy retailer. Tell us again how remewables an...

Yeah, build the rail line first, or at least dedicate the corridor through the development so that it can be built around it. Best case scenario under this approach is that years from now it's built in a way that is more expensive than it would be doing it right from the start, and will be isolated ...

Adelaide has no shortage of space, both un-used and under-used, without needing to expand retail precincts onto that side of North Terrace.

A train station there would also be amazing useful for events in Bonython Park.

Supply and demand.

Except due to the past 25 years of fucked up policies that have actively encouraged people to buy multiple properties, it means the demand has increased beyond population growth, even as we haven't been building enough new housing stock even to account for population growth.

At sites like TTP and Marion it would be great to see them somehow revive the drive in theatre concept. Could have a rooftop carpark, with barriers and scanners (or even ticketed as Westfield will eventually manage to get) during the day to prevent people just parking there in the morning and then s...

I would go as far as saying that if they are trying to sneak a second tower in instead of the lower restaurants/bars that were presented and are more more in fitting with this being a public space, that it should be more of an open tender/offer for bids from multiple parties. That won't happen howev...

Objections from the residents of the Crowne Plaza building were always gonna be a thing! Kinda sucks for them, but also construction of that came with the loss of some great venues and you can't just pause progress when it's convenient. Commend you on the double ramps, great to see that access not j...

Heating is more expensive than cooling, so those light coloured roof houses will need more heating in the cooler months and thus will use more energy on an annual basis. I wonder did they base this decision on the heat map or on the actual energy usage of those dwellings? I bet I can guess which. C...

Absolutely brilliant MicBara. It's been fascinating for us to quintessentially go along for a lot of this ride with you. I concur, Sky Garden looks incredible. There are few other examples like it in Australia, so it's a great opportunity. It would be an outstanding location for a bar. Absolutely. ...

Police horses are a waste of resources to being with. It would be better to do away with the mounted unit and buy more police cars. They serve very different purposes. How often does breaking up riots with horses take place in Adelaide? The cost of keeping horses for those few events is enormous an...

Typical Adelaide fuckhead mentality. Sorry for the blunt vulgar words, but it's true. People wonder why the young continue to flee Adelaide for the east coast? Fuck head "critics" in that article play a big part in why this city is so fucking backwards still, so slow in every god damn asp...
