SA Footy

For instance, lots of new buildings and facilities need to be built now at Osborne, so surely a whole set of building companies/workers will get that work. I still think that the general 'vibe' this creates adds to business confidence and is great for our economy in intangible ways...

Heard today Whyalla doesn't make that sort of steel but, as Sploosh says, hopefully there will be spin off civil and construction work that does
Anyway, Jays off to the south of France to sort it all out during their beautiful summer
Marty and he should eventually have 50m frequent flyer points to enjoy retirement

The frogs sent packing and we are getting nuclear subs.
Will wait to see further details but my initial thoughts are positive. No doubt Brandt and his loons will be on the attack over it, did hear him refer to it as a “floating Chernobyl” but that’s expected from a nut job like him

Agreed, initial thoughts are this is massive news for SA, potentially a huge win for our economy and infrastructure going forward.

There's little doubt our defence capabilities will be increased, they have been getting increased for years out at the RAAF base ( HNA, Air 7000 etc ) and with that brings more defence personnel / more money and the flow on effect to subcontractors will only build.

I think it's great news.

Sensible decision.
Nuclear subs are much more useful in their range and not having to surface so often.
We should have gone that route in the first place.
I'm happy the UK are involved not just the US.

Not good news for the Naval group here in Adelaide. Set up offices at Keswick and Port Adelaide. Recruited fairly well here, and now need to ramp down.

I just got an email from the Premier's department saying how good it will be for the jobs in SA.
Apparently they have been advised a lot of the prep work will happen here.
Wait and see I guess...
