Re: SA Economy

Do you really want your schools, shops, hospitals, favourite weekend spots flooded with people? Like being stuck in traffic forever or not getting a seat on the train?

Re: SA Economy

Appreciate your reply Rev and hope I don't offend with my direct reply but it is borne out of quite a bit of frustration. Hope you understand. Adelaide is not a country town. It is a small city. Are you saying there is no place for or benefit in having small or mid size cities? It should all be eith...

Re: SA Economy

Aidan, a place as well located and resourced as Adelaide won't die if it doesn't go Big, assuming good management. The go big or die message being peddled is a scam designed to benefit those in power. Trains don't get you everywhere and not always the friendliest of places. They're also an additiona...

Easy money. I also understand people wanting a more vibrant Adelaide. A bigger, wealthier population wi...

Re: SA Economy

Tasmania isn't an economic powerhouse but still they have higher population growth. It's pathetic. What is the demographic of people moving to Tasmania? Clean air and a slower pace attracts retirees. Retirees travel and spend to start with, but that reduces the further they are into retirement. The...

Re: SA Economy
