Looking at March next year for the nRAH to be in use, at absolute best.

March 2017, what someone has put an actual month down.

Well shit hey.

Nope, I said at best.

Technical completion in mid September ( all going well ) and then minimum 3 months of system testing from there. ( Mid Dec at best ). All going ok with that testing and around New Year there should be signs of life, however, many of the systems to be tested are not yet finalized and as such the practical completion date and testing commencement date are not likely to be the same thing.

The key test will be the quality of the coffee staff can get for meetings there. As a someone who may frequent it for such occurrences it I can vouch that it will be a key criteria before it can be opened.....

My son just bought his first house for a tick over $400k
No first home owners grant
Over $20,000 in State Govt charges

Lets hope there are solar panels on the roof.

Speaking of which, imagine if they had put the $160m from a tunnel that no-one wants into another inter-connector
It was an election promise only a mere 14 years ago
Plus we would save $500k on a study that has already been done in 2011
Notably, when the SA budget came out, the 2011 study was immediately taken off ElectraNet's website once The Australian asked the Govt why they were doing the study again

Latest Galaxy poll 53-47 to the Libs.

The Advertiser today carries a poll of South Australian state voting intention from Galaxy, which records the Liberals with a two-party preferred lead of 53-47, essentially unchanged on the result that failed to deliver them victory at the election in March 2014. However, the two-party vote is becoming difficult to parse in what now looks like a three-party system, with primary votes showing the Liberals on 35%, Labor on 27% and the Nick Xenophon Team on 22%, with the Greens on 7% and Family First on 5%. Personal ratings indicate Premier Jay Weatherill’s gloss has entirely worn off, with 14% rating his performance good, 41% fair and 37% poor, but Opposition Leader Steven Marshall does little better, respectively at 11%, 40% and 36%. The two leaders are tied at 31% on the question of preferred premier, compared with Weatherill’s lead of 37% to 27% at the last such poll in February. The poll was conducted last Monday to Wednesday from a sample of 869.

Dr. Bonham in the comments though:

2PP seems very dubious given what we know about NXT preferences now. By applying 2016 federal election preferences I get 50-50.

In accordance with the South Australian constitution, which is the ultimate law, the party with the most votes should govern
Simple as that.

Yeah sure. So which seats will you turn over to the Libs to give them enough seats to form government?

Not my job. The Electoral Commission has to comply with s83 of the Constitution.
If they cant, then they need to advise the Supreme Court that they can't.
The Constitution over-rides everything. Simple as that.
The Supreme Court may have to consider the Hare-Clark system so that we do comply with s83 or get rid of it altogether

Should be a good day today in parliment.

Did the $2,000,000,000 Desal plant shut down or have they got back up generators to ensure it can remain on go slow?

I costs us $80m in interest per year

Back up generators there, it can run without any external power for up to 10 days, I believe.

And the nRAH news keeps getting better.

You can mark down October 2017 for patients moving in. Looks as though technical completion will be some time in the New Year, then you have the mandatory 3 month testing period and only after that has been satisfied ( which may be more than 3 months ) can patients move in.

This will most likely be completed in June/July and peak 'flu season 'aint the time to be moving into a new hospital.

It will also give them another winter to find all the leaks in the building and plug them up.

It will also give them another 12 months to work out what they do with all the rooms adjacent the lift risers that have some much noise being regenerated into the rooms that they've had to acoustically line the ceilings of some rooms.

And....

And.......

******* useless

[Jimmy_041]

I think you'll find the government are quite happy for it to just sit there.
Saving $1m per day and he can boast about the non-existent surplus
It gives them time to try to fix EPAS as well

[shoe boy]

Surley the libs can find better than Marshall! Chapman? maybe not

I'm still wondering at putting the place in one of the most difficult traffic areas of Adelaide for ambulances to rush through to get patients to the ED.
I assume they government thought they' and their visitors (if they get there in time to survive) would all come by the electrified trains - provided the electricity was working...
