Planning committee - Right, we need to shut the train network for two full days.

Idiot - Should we do it while the Test match is one?

All - Hooray!

All - Hooray!

Given that there will only be half a crowd there, and 60% of them will drive their own taxi's to the ground, it's probably not as bad as it sounds.

Yeah it is. It's so dumb, honestly there is no good weekend in December to shut it down.

Other than this weekend when it was planned to be shutdown?

You mean before the first test and before Christmas shopping really kicks in ?

Yes.

Have had enough of by-elections - Rau and Weatherill and of course ex PM Malcolm T and the latest Sugar Daddy clown from the National Party - if the sitting Member for a seat resigns/retires - give that seat to the party that ran 2nd at the previous election. I've had enough of politicians wanting your vote so they can serve you for the next 3 years when either they have no intention of doing so OR get exposed as being idiots. Should a sitting Member pass away or suffer serious health issues (confirmed by medical experts not aligned to the Member's party) then that Member can be replaced by another person from the same party to serve the electorate until the next election - but otherwise the seat changes hands. Would cut out by-elections overnight I'd say !

Tell you what the Environment and Water minister David Speirs might be the most useless bloke in the libs party.

Honestly I think they have done a reasonable job so far but honestly sack this bloke. He is useless.

Even his parting Merry Xmas email to his departments was full dumbass ideas. He really has no idea and it's going to burn them soon and as I said they are going reasonably well.

$5bn for Torrens to Tonsley, oh yeah, where you finding that sort of coin?

It's not a one off payment. The entire project will cost this much but how much do you think all the north-south corridor projects have cost to now?

Either way, the bottle neck from Anzac Hwy to St Marys is 5-10 years from being solved and only going to get worse with the traffic at the new Bunnings in Edwardstown.

Also the traffic from Torrens to Torrens and just been transferred to Regency heading North, and Mile End heading south.

T2T was around $800m.

Superway about the same figure.

northern connector is about $885 mil and northern expressway was $564 mil apparently.

i dare say a big chunk of the price for the remaining section is compulsory buy backs. land value would be higher through there than some of the other sections wouldnt it?

So we're at $2.4 ( in round numbers ) for the Northern connector, T2T and Superway.....$5bn seems an awful lot of money.

Tunnel projects in the eastern states currently under construction are around that mark.

About 10km. Would have thought half a billion per km was good value.
