Cheers mate, there's actually heaps of IT work about at the moment but I'm leaning towards hospitality, lots more fun even if the pay is shithouse but luckily money isn't an issue for me. Thanks for thinking of me, appreciate it.

Better people have resigned for less
I wasn't here when Olsen quit so don't know much about it
It seems they have one set of rules for Parliament and another outside

John Olsen is a disgraceful 'human being'. An even slimier version of the current Labor clown in charge.

I had to think back to David Tonkin for the last "decent" Premier

What was Tonkins' legacy? It seemed like he was premier for about half an hour.

More about him being a decent bloke
But a little known fact is he championed Roxby Downs
Also gave land back to the Pitjantjatjara
But his main legacy was a couple of smashing daughters

You conducted some one-on-one focus groups at the Tonkin household back in the day?

I've got a bikini one somewhere unless Mrs 041 has found it - It's even in colour!

[Booney]

Is it a bikini or one of those 1950's demure numbers?

The graph was posted by Justin Fabo or is an ex RBA economist. I follow him and a few others on twitter, they habe some interesting views and stats ablut the state of the Australian economy. Anyway the graphs show the trends in seek ads per state. What it shows us tha at the moment NSW has flatten out a bit, WA is starting to rebuild and SA is definitely ramping up.

Hopefully SA can continue with the trend
The economy why still tough in SA is starting to improve and move a bit.

How has Leesa Vlahos kept her position??

How has Leesa Vlahos kept her position??

Compare her actions to the rest of them and she's just average
If Weatherill can completely ignore his personal responsibility for the lack of child protection, why should Vlahos fall on her sword?
Funny how the lies are getting outed (again, same as the rest of them)

They have been trotting out this "she should be commended for shining a light on it"
Well, Indaily have a different version of events:

Weatherill defended Vlahos, saying she should not be criticised for her actions.
“The reality is that if the minister had not instituted this inquiry we would not have been aware of the depth of the concerns at this institution. And rather than criticism she should be acknowledged for the fact that she has shone a light on this facility…”
“She has my full support.”
Vlahos has repeatedly stated that she ordered the review – a claim repeated by Weatherill today – but the degree to which the minister was personally responsible for “shining a light” on concerns at Oakden remains unclear.
The CEO of the Northern Adelaide Local Health Network [NALHN], Jackie Hanson, requested and designed the review – the Minister approved the request.
The introduction and background to the review – which does not mention any intervention by Vlahos – suggests Hanson was its animating force.
On 20 December last year, it says, Hanson “requested the Chief Psychiatrist undertake an external independent review of the Oaken facility as a matter of urgency with the intention of providing a report in April 2017”.
A spokesperson for SA Health told InDaily that the department’s CEO Vickie Kaminski and Vlahos met the previous day to approve Hanson’s request for an inquiry into the Oakden facility.
Hanson also designed the scope of the review.
“From the outset, it was clear that the CEO [of] NALHN wanted the review to be extensive and to look into all matters relevant to the clinical care of all consumers within the Oakden facility, and not be restricted to any one individual,” the review reads.
“It was clear she wanted no stone unturned in getting to the bottom of the issues.”

Funny how these people will easily take credit for doing something right but its always someone's fault for the lack of action or complete ****up

Thats life in general there mate. Everyone will stand up for a pat on the back but run for cover when its a punch in the face.

Still this is just another debacle to add to the list.

Honestly if big Steve cant get up from here at the next election he will need a career change.

We're 49 days into the 90 test period of the nRAH since practical completion was announced.

That doesn't mean we're 41 days from it opening....
