SA State Election

[BenniBoiBlep]

SA has a state election coming up.

If there are any from SA here, who are you leaning towards? What is going to win?

SA has a state election coming up.

If there are any from SA here, who are you leaning towards? What is going to win?

I'm still undecided. I'm actually having difficulty finding anything that makes it clear exactly what is being promised.
I'm a little disappointed with some of the things I'm seeing like Cossie the local celebrity being granted $400,000 of state government money to build 2 cabins on his multi million $ "farm" at Woodside... like that's a cost effective way to stimulate tourism in SA... just doesn't smell right.

For me, It'll come down to what matters, I'm unhappy with the rezoning of farming land throughout the Adelaide Hills, there's simply not enough infrastructure to support the current population yet new subdivisions are popping up everywhere.

I'd like to see more investment in local motorsport. If they want hoons to keep it off the street, invest in somewhere for them to let their hair down, help fix AIR, the speedway tracks, motor x tracks everything in SA excluding The Bend is completely run down, no one wants to compete here because it's a ******.
We need more diversely in national class or even world class sporting facilities, we've got a great oval, great Velodrome and great .............. that's about it I think.

While I'm on about stuff that'll never happen, how about this

Another change I'd like to see is the traffic lights, they're simply outdated, they give ample warning of the impending red light but give drivers little chance if any at all to prepare for a green light. How's a bloke going to stall up and build boost without warning.... I propose they replace the traffic lights with these ...

Dreams are free right.

As long as the greens are last on the ballot paper I'm happy.

That's definitely a very good start.

For those interested. NSC, how to vote.

To be honest I don't think Marshall will be re-elected. The way he's handled the rona/vax mandates and such has upset a lot of people.

Having said that, it seems like there are no better candidates.
We're kind of in a similar situation as the yank liberals found thenselves in, "um, We're voting for anyone but trump........"
And they ended up with a geriatric moron with the global presence and intimidation factor of a chihuahua.

No matter who wins, we wouldn't be voting the best guy in, we'd be voting the perceived worse guy out, by any means necessary.

**I'm 100% pro trump, just using that as an example

Ok, that's a little shady.....
As someone who has studied the SA act and Regulations I can say that there are some errors in their statements regarding safe storage, and loaning of firearms in SA.
It would appear that some selective bias has been written into that article.
I'd have to strongly disagree that SA has the most draconian FA laws in the country, in fact I would have thought we have some of the most relaxed laws and rules in the country when looking at them as a whole.


They also appear to have an axe to grind with the SA Police minister Tarzia by mentioning his apparent lack of engagement in the matter mentioned.
The police minister actually resolved the issue whichis quite amazing considering that it was probably a trivial issue in comparison to what the Police have been dealing with over the last few years with Ironside, covid and every other operation well never hear about . Should we expect a thesis on the matter from him?

Who's going to replace the minister and commissioner if the NSC get the election results they'd prefer?


There's obviously a hidden agenda there, I'd rather be told the truth than have my pocket pissed in.
I'm not that impressed by that particular NSC statement.
They've actually lost one credibility point in my book, moving them from a 9.5 / 10 credibility score to a 8.5 / 10

It's not that simple.
Who is second last, who is third last and so on is just as important.
To do otherwise is as likely as not is to vote for somebody you don't want.
Don't ever submit a blank ballot as these sometimes mysteriously somehow transform into valid votes during the transition to counting.

Id expect a big swing against Liberal Steven Marshall and Scott Morrison. Yes Federal incompetence will play a part.

Labor says if they win the Adelaide 500 is coming back. It was dumb to get rid of that to begin with.

As I recall the guy that build Tailem Bend bought Mallala also and is supposed to rehabilitate that.

I don't know the status of AIR once Bob Jane died.

I did a little race at Mallala many years ago, it was a pretty spartan racetrack.

I expect the Hills in time will be gobbled up by development

I'm sure I heard that Labor (a party that historically I never vote for) is promising a new hospital in the hill's.
As someone who's currently in the hospital system I know how desperately its needed. Everything is overwhelmed In the city.

They're all dodgy money grubbing c#@ts anyway so what the f#@k does it really matter?

[on_one_wheel]

Here's another interesting fact about the NSC how to vote guide...
Regardless of who's in power, all the non elected public servants maintain their jobs, yet the NSC have asked us to vote in a particular way as to remove the Police Minister...

I'll be voting for the liberal party.
We're currently paying $1,000,000 per day in interest for labour's shambled RAH project... they screwed up in a massive way at every turn when they were in power here last time... screw you Labor

[Oldbloke]

I see labour won

[womble]

Convincingly.
I cant find his history pro or anti. But seems unbiased and fair.

[on_one_wheel]

I see labour won

Definitely a devastating result.
I'm surprised that so many people have forgotten the f*** ups they left us with frin their previous terms.

[bigpete]

I see labour won

Great. Guess that means the zoomy zoomy car race is back

[wanneroo]

Yes both the Adelaide Motorsport Festival and the 500 are back, which is cool.

Sounds like all the politicians in SA are dorks however and the whole system needs cleaned out with new people.

[straightshooter]

The first of many governments to be victims of the 'covid retribution'.
Just remember it requires only a very small percentage of voter's with newly motivated volatility to make it happen.
But before anybody gets too excited by free flowing political promises, does anybody think that any politician understands let alone adheres to the dictum 'my word is my bond'?

[cz515]

Interesting thread to read now the result is know.

OOW mate you predicted the results perfectly. It's the negative sentiment against the ruling party through covid that's killed it for liberals.

I wonder . No, I hope a similar fate happens to Dan in Victoria. But saying that liberals are a bunch of ....hmm actually, I don't know who the liberals are in Victoria... they are that bad, apart from Matthew Guy is the leader. He replaced the guy I don't remember the name off who replaced mathew after liberals lost the last election

I have NFI if what you say is correct. But I certainly have not forgotten little Johny H and what he did.

[womble]

Id expect a big swing against Liberal Steven Marshall and Scott Morrison. Yes Federal incompetence will play a part.

I think that’s what went wrong for Marshal.
Scott Morrison.

I hear you. The most expensive hospital in the world.

I was on the town other night in Adelaide on the corner of Hindley and King Williams at 8.30pm and down comes Marshall with two guys looking for the pub. I got to give it to Marshall because Andrews doesn't walk anywhere by himself without his security detail. Marshall seemed like an accidental leader and it didn't help with the Ellis also getting done for travel expense fraud.

It was partly Scomo but I think Marshall's land tax changes killed him. I have 2 mate who have never voted Labor in there life but the Land tax changes were going to hit them hard, they voted for there own hip pocket, one of these guys actually despises everything Labor stands for
