One of Adelaide's big problems is all the inner city housing is heritage listed so you cant know it down and build higher density. The old stone houses look lovely but cant get density with them there. I have just bought in Norwood after selling in Belair, don't want the huge land to deal with so h...

Being a winger in his late 20s, I think his best before date will have been reached with 3 years. But this rule is dumb. Stupid 7s and stupid Olympics. Should be one nation and done. Maybe some leeway for players going to 2nd and 3rd tier nations, but not this. Agreed. This seems against the spirit...

Labor (SA) have got that wrong, urban sprawl gone mad, Adelaide is stretching north to Port Wakefield......are these people expecting public transport? There is so much brownfield land to infill between Northfield and Salisbury. Labor has been private dancing to developers. People already live in A...

I do a fair bit of work with developers and one major thing that is holding back the construction of houses is the lack of water (sewer and reticulation) infrastructure. Small to moderate sized developers simply don't have the capital to build subdivisions that require sewer pump stations and the l...

Playing so many tests offshore is bad for NZ Rugby fans, and likely to result in a lower winning rate, which is bad for the All Black brand. Time zones are important too. Saturday afternoon to evening will capture casual and hardcore fans alike. Games in European or American time zones will likely ...

I knew more overseas "home" games were happening but I had no idea that the AB's are confirmed to play just four of 13 tests at home in 2026. Kinda makes the argument for the new Christchurch stadium and Auckland's possible waterfront stadium a bit null & void if they only get 1 AB's game per year....

Tulsi Gabbard committed voter fraud, but oh well.

I find it interesting that Trump said "now is a good time to buy stocks" a few hours before this announcement. Will anyone investigate? Nah, he's gutted the justice system and the SEC. I didn’t think he could top the trumpcoin scam but fair play to him, he has. Nobody is willing to stop this guy it...

Don’t worry I haven’t watched sky news years, and wouldn’t know how to access it. I’ve got no interest watching what sounds like a bunch of swivel eyed loons rant and rave.

The other issue is that he is completely undermining international trust in the US . He is so erratic and extreme in his views that you can't trust anything he says or he does, and the truth of one day isn't the truth of tomorrow. It is to the extent, as someone pointed out, that China is now going...

Does Trump have the power to push these tariffs through? I thought stuff like this had to go through the house and senate. Especially as they have free trade agreements with a lot of the affected countries? Why don't republicans push back, ultimately its their asses what will be kicked to the curb a...

If the trumpet of patriots are not part of any debate, whats the point. Lets go clive and tucker.

In other, less pressing news, Anus Taylor has refused to set a date to highlight the LNP Policy costings.....2 weeks out from early voting opening.... :blush: :lol: It's amazing, It's almost as if the Federal Coalition weren't ready for this election and didn't have their policies finalised. Everyo...

Sensible Stephen

So the Coalition has walked away from their recently announced policies to restrict working from home, and to sack 41,000 public servants. Both policies were extremely unpopular, and allowed the ALP to link Dutton to Donald Trump's similar policies. I've never seen a party dump two policies 2 weeks...

It will also not lower US production. It won’t grow fast enough to fill the economic gap , but it won’t fall.

You're bang on, the only way now is for all the cuts, the tarrifs, the removals of people to make people realise just how f**ked things are.

Even minor things like paying child support to his latest rejection, skimps on that too. All round cnut. Seems to have zero self awareness.

I really wonder if Trump is going to put Elon in prison. Plenty of reasons to put him there. The fallout is coming.

Did he bring his family with him? Saw him on KOKO last year talking about his kids attending american highschool. I wonder how many different schools they have been to.

Sensible Stephen

The AFR has ALP ahead to form majority. Trump is probably the best thing to ever happen for Albo. Dutton is also saying he’ll cut HAFF and the government support for transmission infrastructure build out. The HAFF isn’t perfect but at least it’s trying to attempt to alleviate the housing crisis.

I'd be surprised if deportation of violent criminals hasn't always had wide support. It's labelling all immigrants, illegal or otherwise, as violent criminals, and using that as an excuse to ignore international obligations and drum up hate that is an issue.

The Voice was a disaster and has set race relations back decades in Australia. Otherwise Labor have done a decent job.

I didn't say that. They are better than the alternative, yes. However, people act as though driving an EV is a net positive for the environment, when in reality it's just less bad . Driving an EV won't save the environment, just delay the decline. But thats the point, it is better. You as an indivi...

Can we stop pretending that just driving a Tesla, while taking no other action, is especially good for the environment anyway? Greenwashing at its finest.
