The Marshall government has been a huge disappointment, Marshall himself looking permanently confused. After 16 years of Labor, South Australians were relieved to see a change. A change was needed - just not this change, as nothing good or useful has come of it. We've just had three corrupt ministers exposed, and Marshall defended them in the face of public outrage. All a genuine mistake, he said. He didn't sack them; he 'accepted their resignations'.

You can't move around Adelaide for 'roadworks' most of which don't refer to actual roads but to pottering around with footpaths. Signs get left long after any 'work' has finished: left by useless, costly make-work companies who have taken over from actual workers who used to be responsible for their own signs.

The media? Nothing to see there. Arson. Car crashes,and some old lady telling us she ha s reached 100 years age probably because she eats half a banana a day.

As a conservative, I will not vote for the Liberal party, which, like its federal counterpart is NOT conservative (nobody knows what it is), but for the sitting Labor member who gets things done for her electorate despite the wishy-washy government.

I wonder how many blackouts this summer? The Government 'experts' must be totally fooled. Plenty of billionares and China done so well out of the gw scam.

The Advertiser, good for wrapping fish and chips and that's it

The economy s in a mess everywhere, yet you somehow see that as game over for SA?
NO! It's nearly thirty years since we fell for the lie that the state's debt was what was holding its economy back. WE WON'T BE FOOLED AGAIN!

Don't get me wrong - the state's economy certainly does have problems unrelated to COVID. Some stem from federal factors (like the RBA setting interest rates too high for the SA economy's needs) but SA doe have many problems of its own making too.

The brain drain is the effect, not the cause, of the problems. And nor do we have a "sheltered workshop economy". Those days are long gone, and it's quite surprising that you hadn't noticed.

kirby483, I've never actually seen fish and chips wrapped in the 'Tiser. Are you sure it's good for that?

runner,
Experts are "fooled" by the facts into believing the truth instead of relying on their prejudices. It's such a pity the same can't be said about you!
BTW investment in big batteries has ensured SA now has a very reliable electricity supply. However, as with other states, localised blackouts still sometimes occur due to faults in the distribution system.

runner,

I was heartened to see that investment in renewable energy is falling away because things aren't happening fast enough for the money grubbers.

Yep a totally failed state.

If they couldn't bludge east coats water Queensland & NSW coal fired power, & Queensland & NSW GST money they would be sitting in the dark dying of thirst, & wondering if they could afford a can of beans for dinner.
