Highest taxes on business, yes. Highest power costs in Australia, yes. Most incompetent politicians, yes. Gerrymander, yes. Do South Australians care: not a lot.

Judging on comment here, and the informative doco's on SBS last night...the war against drugs...SA is set in the template for an ice epidemic.
I have not witnessed in my liftime, a period where people around me were so disengaged from politics, abandoning all respect for a political system which appears totally captured by corruption at all levels of Government.

I am not really in a good position to make much comment on Sth Aus but there
is one subject I feel strongly about.
We should not be obtaining 12 diesel submarines !
If we are stupid enough to go ahead, in the event of a real warlike incident
we will get one patrol voyage out of each submarine and they will be then
tied up at the dock for the duration.

Be aware that we import 100% of our diesel and petrol.
One threat to an oil tanker and we will have two weeks fuel supply.
All oil tankers will stop and there is no navy that could protect the 200
tankers that supply Sydney. I don't know how many supply other cities.

A better buy would be three nuclear submarines from the US. Probably cheaper
and would have more sea time.

Nuclear is not clean energy, look at waste definitely not clean. Wave generators, geothermal and solar farmers using sodium towers. Need to examine many options.

Indeed Lamp, I agree but time is not on our side so we do not need to waste
money on already failed systems such as wind and solar.

Obviously wind and solar have not saved SA's bacon. The state also pioneered hot dry rock geothermal which at one stage was supposed to supply large amounts of power. Now the trailblazing Habanero geothermal plant lies unused near Innamincka.

Like or not China and India are going full bore on nuclear yet they don't have much uranium themselves. That's where SA has the advantage. As they say if you've got it use it.
