The South Australian Political Landscape

Yep, 100% … but then again, who actually taps their card these days anyway?

I do. Well it is free for me.

So do I when I go to Morphettville or Holdfast Shores
Wonderful free service that us seniors deserve seeing we've contributed to the cost of public transport for decades but never used it

Saw somewhere that the Algal bloom enquiry has a specialist (not sure his correct title) that contradicts the current ad about the nutrients from the floods

Vic Premier is delusional

Working in private sector projects, I just don't understand how everything the government do is late and over budget

What’s keeping South Australians awake at night?
It was not all good news for Labor, with voters rating the Malinauskas government poorly on several issues, including cost of living, hospital ramping and the algal bloom, with net negative performance ratings.

A whopping 53 per cent of South Australians thought the government was doing a bad job addressing cost of living, 52 per cent on hospital ramping, 49 per cent on the algal bloom and 47 per cent on housing.

Some 32 per cent of respondents listed cost of living as the biggest issue facing the state, followed by housing at 22 per cent, health and hospitals at 13 per cent, the ongoing algal bloom at six per cent and the economy at six per cent.

Despite a focus on crime by both parties, with Labor promising $172 million to increase the state’s police force to 5000 officers by 2030/31 and the Liberal Party this week unveiling its own plan to recruit more police officers, only five per cent of South Australians said this was the top issue facing the state.

Overall, South Australian voters had a positive outlook, with 45 per cent stating that they think South Australia was “headed in the right direction, compared to 36 per cent who said the state is going in “the wrong direction” and 19 per cent who were unsure.

They will still win by a mile

How is a hospital more complex from an engineering standpoint than something like a smelter or refinery? The new RAH was clearly module based, which should be the construction basis for anything that has a high degree of repetition.

It's a greenfields site, there's no complex tie-ins to existing infrastructure to take into account. Reckon there was a reason this source wanted to be anonymous...

Significantly more engineering in the health space than there is in every other build.

[wenchbarwer]

It goes to show what an absolute clusterf*** the Libs are in SA at the moment.

These two project blunders should be enough to sink any political party, but Labor will more than likely gain even more seats at the next election.

Every other build? Are you just talking buildings?
