That's interesting. The comment came from a reasonable source, so I wonder what they actually meant.

This is in place now. For new developments private companies can run the water and waste water requirements.

Not so sure about existing infrastructure but new developments are a free for all.

Although how long until SA Water is sold off?

Haven't these developments only run the waste water and water supply until the subdivision is complete? Then SA Water are sold or take over the infrastructure.

my guess is maybe they are going to do the same as what they do with electricity and have a range of different retailers?

That's pretty much what I thought. Supply side.

Ah yes, because deregulation of the electricity sector in SA has worked well for the consumer :roll:

No, some are council run and others are run by private companies.

So question time in parliament are leaders are arguing about the fact that there was not a great deal of support for a time zone change in SA. Seriously guys WTF is wrong with everyone. The last unemployment figures have us at 7.9% which is the worst in the country by a good stretch at the moment.

Yes the ship building program has a future that wont kick in until at least 2017. More jobs will still go in the mean time. Holdens is really starting to slow down and the supporting industries are feeling this.

What about other industries here in SA???

Is it just me that is expecting that actual problems should be giving priority or am I just expecting far too much?

There is a plan hidden away in another bill to ban poker in pubs in sa.

https://hansardpublic.parliament.sa.gov ... D-11-19892

Would cost hundreds of jobs, with the aim of getting people to play more pokies. Disgusting.

You are not supposed to notice all that stan
Actually, unemployment jumped from 7.9% to 8.1% on a Trend basis which is the more stable indicator
11 straight months of less full time employment

Yes I'm probably not. But when unemployment hits a 20 year high and the worst is yet to come, and our leaders are arguing about timezones....well.....what do you do hey.

Anyone following the release of this ICAC report about Gillman.

Well nothing illegal just at this point massively unprofessional. With the treasurer using bully boy tactics to get the deal through.

Ah Tom Kosimuseless, it really is a honour to have you represent me on North Terrace.....I liked it better when in a neighbouring seat with a faceless MP who apparently was a minister :shock:

The more I read, the better it gets. He wanted it through so badly that Revenue SA staff were threatened and abused. Nice work.

and he NEVER knew the Renewal SA Board had rejected the deal ("If you have evidence of that, please show me")
Well, until it came out in the Supreme Court that he did, and sent it back to them sugar coated with some f.....s and c........s
Very scuddy. No wonder he's a Kyrgios fan
