The conversation moved on with no real reference to my comment, but five minutes later the comment was made that "you don't see the figures we see". I'm not sure to read too much into it, but it was an interesting comment.


As I noted above, the premiers words were along those exact lines, the polls show it really is a 3 way race.

Losing credibility by the day.
It started with the debate and just keeps getting worse.

Has this week been the moment where SA Best has jumped the shark?


Well, I bumped into the incumbent premier yesterday morning at our local coffee shop and discussed the third wheel with him, along with the debate that I watched most of.

He's of the opinion polls are split 1/3,1/3,1/3 meaning it really is anyone's race so far as winning the most seats goes.

( I felt like Psyber then )


Cool.

The Weatherill Bus was in Elizabeth Park on the weekend.

Labor & Libs both trying to undermine SA Best. I hope people vote for Nick in droves just because we're sick of their sh!t.

I note with interest that two western suburbs breweries have been the subject of press releases from the State Government in the past week.

You're assuming SA Best isn't whoring itself around then?

Marshall says X has committed to helping Labor win government, X threatens to sue Marshall, X runs more candidates in Liberal held seats, Jay for SA comes out today and says he's got the names of 3 X men/women who'll jump ship if they win their seats in March and you want X to be in charge or, at best/worst, play King maker?

It's a mess now, imagine if the bloke with no policies is in the hot seat. He's a fickle stunt puller with no substance.

Big Shed received a loan and some monies from the SBDF, Pirate Life have secured a major deal and have committed to some serious investment in the Port. Good news stories get the spotlight....

No doubting they're good news stories.
All I was noting was the locations/industry of the businesses. Someone in the ALP likes having breweries out west ;)

I think the incumbent Minister is of the view former Mayor Johannsen offers some long overdue competition and any "safe" seat any party can win, they want to!

I just think he will at least listen to the people of SA. The other 2 are more interested in themselves & what they can get away with

X is better used as the fickle stunt puller than a leader. He knows it and we all know it.

You're right, he'll probably listen, but don't we want our politicians actions to speak for them?

At least he does all his own stunts, not like the other 2 who do what the people behind the scenes tell them to do.
