There is an article on adelaide now but you need a subscription for that, hence we can wait for the announcement.


That would be $230 million there sir. Will create 36 jobs.

leading upto the Budget is the best time for the Govt, when they drip feed the good news

however all the talk this year has been more focused on the election and double dissolutions....

if the election is in September, I dare say that plays right into Labors hands

any danger that Turnbull may actually make a decision.......

I guess the feeling is that SA is a political wasteland for the libs at the moment. Maybe even Pyne is a real chance to lose his seat.

I did a telephone survey about him last week but haven't seen it published yet
It was about him and Xenophon

Being in Pynes electroate there seems to be a big push for phone surveys asking about Nick X as well as the mail out survey as well. There was one that I particiated in before the Turnball announcment and then another after asking the same questions. Very clear what the intent is of these, he is obviously worried out Nick X at the moment and with Adelaide moving towards becoming the Australian Detroit it would be tough for a standing MP to hold there own at the moment. Just too many areas that opportunists like Nixk X and his team can jump on and run with.

You may be wrong there GG. Could be a possibility with the budget being brought forward. But depends on tne ABCC bill I guess.

Brilliant tactics employed by Turnbull yesterday.

How's Abbott's comments from London, though?

He failed to mentioned that it'll also be easy to support the re-election of the Turnbull Government as it's no longer the Abbott Government.

I don't know who is more deluded in post-leadership life - Tony Abbott or Mark Latham.

Apparently Lazarus, Lambie and one other independent senator will block the bill. Only Bob Day will support it at the moment and with Labor obviously against it may well come down to Nick X and the greens.

But in saying that I think Turnball wants the election and this is just the chest piece for it.

He could've been PM. Talk about dodging a bullet.
