Yes 2015 but not sure if that funding is still ongoing..

Seems unfair not to post their response to this, after someone tried to make hay about this blog post seven months ago. Sorry for posting a link to X, I hate doing that, but it was the only place I could find their statement from Googling.

Hugh White: why the AUKUS ‘dream’ was never realistic and is likely to die

The Trump administration will be much harder to bring on board the AUKUS plan than the Biden administration, which may be the death of the deal. It should be.

Next month I will have to vote for the third time since May 3rd.

One federal election, 2 state.

F*ck the stadium.

Though shouldn't the biggest fuck you go the AFL who are insisting on the stadium being built in order to get the team rather than using an existing ground (from what I've read).

 

[Gingerbread Demon]

But the AFL can't just demand and get their way can it?

 

[Miss Chicken]

I am not sure we can stop the stadium because both Labor and the Liberal support it though Labor went to the last election against it and then did a flip which has pissed off many of their supporters.

I have to vote for seven under the line. I will be voting for those Independents who are against and the Greens. In the north of the state the National candidates are standing with a strong opposition to it. The stadium has created some strange bedfellows.

Tasmania cannot afford it, the place they want to put it is totally unsuitable. They should just use the UTas stadium in Launceston, especially as the footy culture is stronger in the north than in Hobart.

Both parties view spawts as a winner, there will be many Taswegians who want their own spawts team. So, it'll happen.

The ban is a blunt instrument that will silence the voices of young people instead of placing the onus on tech companies to protect them

Former Greens candidate injured at protest charged with resisting police

Hannah Thomas, 35, is charged with hindering or resisting a police officer in the execution of their duty and refusing or failing to comply with a direction to disperse.

www.abc.net.au

Here's the thing though, she was well away from the protesters and not sure if the videos are still up online but they showed this and it looked like the police had targeted her but hey it's New South Wales where cops get away with anything

sounds like the fate of the federal libs may visited on the state branch next year with current poll numbers leaving them with about 2 seats.

As the 2026 state election nears, who will run for the SA Liberal Party?

Attracting high-quality candidates to run for public office can be a challenge at the best of times, let alone when there are signs of political doom on the horizon.

www.abc.net.au

in 1993 labor was wiped out leaving them with 4 seats but thwas after 10 years in office and the utter debacle of the state bank which cost billions.

But to wind up in that situation from opposition????

I don't think malinsiskus is doing everything right (hospital ramp and housing still big issues) but geez how useless as the libs being?

 

[Gingerbread Demon]

Malinauskas inherited the ramping issue from the previous government who also said they would fix it but it's not just an SA issue, ramping is happening in every state and territory as our health system struggles with an aging population and more demand. Add to that cuts in other funding like mental health where you have people who need that help also filling up EDs and you have an overworked system.

Vincent Tarzia is not a good leader for the Libs, not that they had much choice in that department with the previous one snorting cocaine and getting caught on tape so to speak.

As for the current SA premier he's too busy cosying up to sports people and promising to build golf courses in our parklands because the real issues like housing and such are too hard to tackle. How about not making housing an investment scheme with rent seekers and boomers. Limit the number of homes one person can own.
