Re: The New South Australia

AG, I tend to agree with your sentiments however I feel it is imperative that we address the failings that are only going to get worse if we spin a black sheet over them and hope they go away. There is no sense saying "ok we are past the days of the State Bank so lets move on" when under o...

Re: The New South Australia

Brando and Frank you must be kidding me! Don't dare marginalise what I am saying by trying to dismiss me as a NIMBY. I am highly progressive but am also very aware of the risks of building what should be a mighty city on such shaky foundations, namely state debt, ignorance of the underclass and fail...

Re: The New South Australia

It is ever so dangerous to try and take off and fly like an eagle when you are being led by a Turkey! Whilst the great unwashed of the middle and upper segments of society are doing well in spite of the State Government, heaven help anyone who falls short. Look at the State of Families SA, the State...

Re: Article: City Tram Track To Grow

Mike, When are you going to realise that many speaking out do not oppose progress, they do not wish for Adelaide's decline, they want true Vision. Not some media spin aimed at the greater majority and in the face of the rest. Not a door stop saying we are gunna do this and gunna do that and then whe...

Re: Glenelg Tram Line Upgrade

So the Rann Government claimed that once the tram to nowhere was built those who spoke out against it would realise how wrong they were and fall quiet... Well Pat, Mike and Kevin, you have built it, and it stands testament to the complete lack of vision of your Government . We now have a system with...

Re: About SA's previous debt!!

Jobs for the boys!

Remember the Randall Ashborne inquiry? Ralph Clarke was allegedly offered a cush Statutory Board to drop his allegations against the Rann Governement.

The position, with another Government favourite and the architect of the next Statutory financial disaster - Bruce and WorkCover.

Re: About SA's previous debt!!

unfortunately, his tone represents the standard of journalism in this state. They are happy to regurgitate media spin put out by Rann and his flunkeys and often it becomes tedious even for them. We need more investigative journo s like archer to take the time to understand the issues not trained par...

Re: About SA's previous debt!!

Mike Rann might want to reassign his SA assets Management Corporation to filling in the Billion Dollar hole Bruce Carter and the Board of WorkCover have created for South Australia.

WorkCover Uncovered

Seems the Rann media circus permeates all levels of Government and its agencies. WorkCover is about to Deliver to the State levels of debt akin to that when we first realised the State Bank had become a disaster that took 18 years to fix, yet the media say nothing. Crazy thing is, if WorkCover were ...

Re: About SA's previous debt!!

Seems old habits die hard under Labour in South Australia. Once upon a time we had a slick talking corporate scheister running the State Bank into a multi billion dollar loss under the nose of the State Labour Government. Today we have Bruce Carter turning WorkCover from a 67 million loss to liabili...
