Probably started with the appointment of a chicken n chips shop assistant as treasurer and went downhill from there?
Which was the better appointment?
Koutsantonis as minister for road safety or Finnigan as acting minister for Police?
Both infinitely qualified in a retro sort of way

Joe Hockey takes a swipe at the premier and thus the finger pointing is now upom us once again. It will achieve very little and assist SA in no way.

Well played Federal and State politicians.

10 days old now but as Jimmy forgot to post it here is the latest Newspoll, 54-46 to Labor:

Newspoll finds Jay Weatherill’s government confirming the dominance it has established in South Australia since its fortunate election win a year ago, although Liberal leader Steven Marshall’s personal ratings have recovered from a slump.

I don't get who the SA Gov and the Fed Gov think they're impressing with these finger-pointing exercises.
Neither side looks good, coming out of it. And the ongoing navel gazing about major projects only hurt us - the taxpayer, we who they are supposed to serve.

a few things have popped up over the last few days that I thought may have been raised in here

the 80 people flying first class to China.......ministers, staffers, journo's

the Labor party declaring that they will target Pyne's seat in the next federal election as part of an advertising campaign against him.
Now whilst they may succeed in that effort in getting him un-seated, has it not dawned on them that in the next local election they will be voted out for poor budget management that results in ESL going up and up and up. All revenue going into general revenue and not where it should be.
I have no issue in paying an ESL, if all the cash when to them for infrastructure and equipment, but I take umbrage when it is being placed elsewhere.

the Liberals, now what the flying duck, are they doing??? they should be smashing the government every day in the media, but they just cant get a decent hit!

There are also council people on that tour to China - it's not all ALP people, either.
Reminds me of the trip to Chile to the massive mine during Mike Rann's premiership. I had a few mates on that tour - they thought it was great fun.

With the state libs they are better off keeping there mouths shut. Can't trust Marshell to get this one through.
