Visited the ASC when they were building the last one and refurbishing the Collins. The guide was saying they decided they wanted them to go faster so they put a heap of fairng on them.

We have seen that recently with the budget. As if they weren"t thinking about negative gearing before the election. Lying pieces of ..... the only reason ON is getting any teaction is because of the poor performance of the major partys. It is amazing how people get stuck into other people without acually thinking they may be wrong themselves.

SA biggest penetration of intermittents and the price goes up compared to the other states with more synchronous gen. maybe there's something in that? The gap should be closing!

A lot of these news stories quote the wholesale price of electricity which is only the cost of producing. Pretty misleading. It hides the cost of the extras. Storage, artificial inertia..... which some one has to pay for and is added to the bills. The link below shows someone saying we won't be paying for electricity soon but just the supply charge similar to mobile phone plans.

A windfarm in sa that I had a bit to do with, with small MW turbines has had it life extended to 30 years. I am curious to see how the larger ones go. Huge amounts of forces when you have 162m rotors sitting on 150M towers.

Qantas?

There is a difference when things change. They were asked several times during the election and they said flat out NO. Not much has changed since the election. Housing has been an issue for a long time now. As far as the Howard and Costello thing, Like I said they are all the same and we should get and expect better.

T least he took his gst to an election

She lied/ misled the people- no better than the rest of them. Albo, gillard, turnball, morrison all the same

Now it has no services at all.

Its a shame it has gone that way. The small town I grew up in had a general store, butcher, baker, pub, 2 mechanics at one stage. A doctors surgery where a doctor came from the larger town once a week. Use to catch a train to Adelaide about 745 and be back at 830 at night. Didn't realise it at the time but it was a great place to grow up.

If you want to change something that was asked about 50 times or what ever during the election campaign, call an election! or wait till the next one like Howard did with the GST. Its not rocket science. Chances are they would win it easily anyway. The classic one is the old there will be no carbon tax in a government I lead, 2 weeks later? Like I said they are a bunch of liars, some of them are smart enough not to get caught.

I'm not saying they are the worst government around, but are you saying that it is OK because there are worse ones around? I also think that the recent lies within the budget would have been talked about before the election. You are right that they may only be in for one term but they know that before hand and one reason for the generous pension schemes although its not as relevant as it use to be. When the pension was implemented people use to have one job their whole working life, not so anymore. I hold people in office to a high standard, but that standard is not reached as often as it should be. They do work in a media saturated society now so you would think they would be more honest as they should now chances are they are going to get caught. I believe they don't care because I think they are smart enough to realise this. The way some (all) of them act in question time when they get asked a question they don't answer makes a mockery of the whole system!

Are you guys saying we should just accept that politicians are always going to lie for our benefit? Why worry about having election campaigns then. Do we just pick those whose lies matter least.

They are all puppets, left included. Some party's hide it better then others and some are more transparent, not necessarily the ones that say they will be. Most are straight out liars as we have recently seen!
