A range of entrepreneurial options already exist, and could be added to, with the group acting as a resource and idea-pooling energy bank.

No doubt that entrepreneurial options exist, but why would you want to come and disturb other people's peace? are there not enough kookaburras, koalas and kangaroos in your place?

You confess to a workaholic disposition - that is certainly unwelcome in Adelaide where people want to preserve their non-competitive lifestyle. If you come and try to impose your ideas of what's up and what's down on others, trying to "improve the place" despite the locals not wanting to be "improved" that way, no wonder they do not like you. You then attribute it to racism, which could not be further than the truth - racism is a feature of the eastern states and the last thing on Adelaide residents' minds. It's all about your pushiness, Veritas, not your race.

I'd say with a name like Yuyutsu he ain't from around here either - unless he's an international student, in which case, he's keeping the local economy afloat.

Veritas, while the writer of the article exhorts Adder expats to return, I suggest you do everything in your power to leave. Adelaide is an inverted anglo proddy-fantasy best left to hoons and murderous sex offenders. You sound entreprenurial and a go-getter. They belong in Sydney or Melbourne.

Would you please leave your tax file number though so we can afford to pay the extraordinary number of welfare and dole bludgers Adelaide has accrued over the last 30 years.

Yuyutsu - could I suggest that when a tsunami is coming your way it's a good idea to move to higher ground. You can get a fix on the tsunami if you check out http://www.theage.com.au/national/education/perfect-grammar-scores-stand-out-20111216-1oyu2.html It will not spare you.

Cheryl - why not call me. At least we could share a coffee and a few opinions. As for moving to Melbourne or Sydney, frankly Adelaide has worn me out. Two of my three kids have gone. But it's too late for me to move. Either I crack the system here, or just fall in a heap.

There is a great forum about South Australian developments and construction at sensational-Adelaide.com

Every major development for the past 7 years is captured, as well as constructive discussions about proposed and visionary development for the future. I look forward to chatting with those interested over there. It's a much more positive, mature and constructive forum.

All you got in your head, Veritas, is economics. You simply cannot understand that there are people who have other values and better things in their life, so they are not interested in material wealth. It seems that you came to bother them, to "crack" them in your own words. You are doing no service to yourself, nor to the people you came to live among.

Your "Tsunami" does not scare anyone - it is superficial and doesn't touch the core. South Australia can be self sufficient and manage well even without those students. Having different values, it should not have been part of the commonwealth of Australia in the first place. It will be better for everyone involved if South Australia transits into an independent country.
