Reasons to Vote "NO"

[smac]

If you didn't have a say, that means you didn't vote - they are the ones who didn't care enough to put pen on paper.

By sending in a proxy, unallocated and unassigned you knew it was going to be a vote for the proposal. They still had a say. Every vote that was counted was someone having a say, there is no point in splitting them and making an announcement.

Why do you need to know? Everyone who voted, by proxy or in person, had their say.

Time to move on.

Having said that how many didn't have their say and automatically were assigned a yes vote? To me that is poor form and is an insult to those that cared to vote. If they won't release that information looks to me that they relied heavily on the non voters to get them across the line.

You have read that wrong H31, anyone that didn't vote was not counted, hence the % of SACA members that voted.

there is 500 million worth of Taxpayers money at stake here and to quote from the article

"There are some basic principles on how democratic results ought to be undertaken," Mr Sawford said, noting undirected votes were in many cases ruled invalid or in the negative. "You should be able to show your results and they should be accountable and in this case there is half a billion taxpayer dollars involved so it should be explained how 80 per cent was obtained," he said.

Therefore why aren't we allowed to know???

The real democratic process for all taxpayers was the last state election. In this case, we are talking about SACA constitutional procedure and this was followed.

Why do you need to know?

because of the article quote in my last post!


If the SACA won't release it then they must be embarrassed by the Yes vote wining by assigning the non voters to their side

Well the new hospital is blown over budget by a lazy billion so i wonder where thats going to come from?
Maybe some of the 600 mill allocated to the AO will have to be siphoned over

Because someone else told you that you needed to know? Excellent reasoning.

What purpose would you put the numbers to? Is that purpose going to make a difference? Are you making noise for fun, for the sake of it or another reason?

[heater31]

Smac we seem to be going in circles here, I want to know and that quote sums up perfectly of why.

I also want to see what bias the non voters placed on the vote. Is there anything else?

H31, because it was in the media, doesn't make it true. SMAC you are a moderator, can you close this b....y thread down. Done and dusted.

that's right gag someone who asks a simple question of why? You sure you are not Mike Rann?

The quote speaks of democratic process, not SACA constitutional process so the article has taken you astray.

Non voters placed no bias as they didn't vote - damn right we're going in circles, it's just my circle is around the new stadium!

Dissapointed in the result and still think that this could be a massive disaster, but i will still attend AO and keep hold of my membership.

Not a massive issue but as i posted in the SANFL forum, i think there will be some very dissapointed SANFL fans when minor round games of 3k crowds are played in a 50k stadium.

Financially this move maybe a success which will be great for South Australian sport but alot of the beauty of AO will be lost imho. Not looking forward to watching cricket in a stadium rather than a oval.

Saw an article today where the AFL is putting the pressure on the GABBA and SCG to install drop in pitches to benefit football. Both cricket associations have slammed the proposal saying that drop in pitches offer poorer conditions. The SCG official went as far as saying that if the SCG is the last oval on the planet it will NEVER have a drop in pitch.
Very interesting now that we were quick to jump on the drop in pitch bandwagon and bow down to the AFL

No, what you ask is for more information than SACA provide from any vote in their history.

[AFLflyer]

seriously thinking about putting my name down as a SACA member now, the members have really surprised me in this Vote.
Bring it on

The socceroos are playing at AO on the Sunday 5th of June. In future years getting to the socceroos to Adelaide Oval will be very unlikely considering we will only have 1 major sporting stadium in SA.

If anything 1 stadium will cost SA any chance of getting major sporting events of any kind here.
