I mean would we expect anything else?


I'm not sure about that. Weatherill is as slippery as
Don't forget he tried to deny HIS 15% GST proposal last week
Nuclear anything is a quantum leap for him and his lefty mates
He also said he's looking at because of climate change not the economics :lol:
If we had no debt and the State was going gang busters, would he really be looking at this?

Jimmy you know exactly what he's doing this is a very contentious issue as anything is to do with nuclear power/waste. He's couching his words so if the public go nuts he can turn around and say it was only ever an idea and he really wasn't proposing it etc. It's kite-flying 101, you know this.

Weren't you supposedly done with state politics when you spat the dummy after the latest election loss?


In other words, you're wrong. He's not proposing it at all

He made it clear he has no opiniom on the matter at this stage. Obviously waiting for thr clear public perception beforr he generates his political opinion.

Interesting oponiom piece but I would agree with the notion of that.

At the end of the day we are over the talk and need results. Could not agree more.

Unemployment figures were improving and sitting at 6.8%, just came in at 7.7%.

Toady marks the 6 years since the 100k of jobs target was announced, the figure is currently at 14K I believe.

I met Leesa Vlahos, SA Minister for Mental Health and Addiction, last night, and she seems to be quite on the ball.
Liberal Shadow Minister Stephen Wade was there too and they seemed to be getting along quite amicably, and to be in general agreement.

A mate of mine put his electrical business in Whyalla into VA last week
He has no doubt Arrium is gone

The underlying problem in SA is all of this manufacturing business is yesterday's technology and nothing has been done to move the State into new industries for 40 years.

We need someone with intelligence and a vision who is not just there to enrich themselves
THEN, we need the people of SA to have the balls to put them in, because the current ar$eholes are going to fight to the death to keep their gold mine

How ironic that the only current potential saviour these people can think up for SA is to turn it into the worlds dump

They need to bring back the 'Play-mander', probably easier than finding an appealing figurehead.

Young, not one of the old guard (yet)

And whilst I hate this, with his professional background (journalist) can get a message across.
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!
