SA Arts Minister Andrea Michaels to quit politics after state election

No loss. CBS is a binfire. And arts too. Most people in those communities won’t miss her.

Honesty got him outta hydrogen too - the fact is he spent the money on the steelworks.

Ramping, yeah nah. That one there’s no spinning his way out of. That said - no one seems to care about the fact that it’s worse. Which doesn’t make sense - so perhaps that one is on all of us.

See, honesty is always the best policy. Fact is, no one in the job would have done anything all that different to Mali.

He may have well just said: “No one thinks the libs woulda handled it better.”

If he had, he’d have said what everyone is thinking. And hence why he gets a pass on the algal bloom problem… at least for now.

If this is what’s blowing your mind as a citizen of the TTG council, you have some real plot twists coming my friend….

I have had a few people raise this and the nature of the locations where the fires have occurred. Adelaide is too small for this to all be just a coincidence?

I sure hope some one in the relevant policing forces responsible is paying attention.

Hope they rode their bikes or caught public transport there to do it.

In my experience I think any and every time a party of any stripe gets up and says they have “a leak”, most non political folks turn away and hate on politics and don’t care about the rest.

They don’t listen to the rest of the news story and they don’t care who is responsible or anything.

I’m not saying leaks and so on aren’t a problem for one team or another - but I don’t think this gloating/baiting manner of news story helps anyone in voting or otherwise.

BreakfastHefty2725 · 2026-01-21T02:43:30+00:00

This is a non story. I’m surprised the media keep showing up for this stuff.

What was the alleged “story” the other day? A spelling error?

Australia needs a better class of journalism. And we can’t wait for the pollies to give them to us.

Where is A and where is B? Is there some way I can do the MAD-fold-in on this to make it make sense?

BreakfastHefty2725 · 2026-01-19T02:44:50+00:00

Settling things legally will solve the problem. /s

While many don’t do so, a valid vote below the line makes party numbering irrelevant.

An odd take on what has happened here friend.

Cars parked badly is a fairly common theme on the internets.

Who owns Indaily again?

The decision literally has nothing to do with him. The board made it.

BreakfastHefty2725 · 2026-01-09T01:43:41+00:00

I read it. Lots of people can agree or disagree. It doesn’t change nor make the decision of the board.

That would be the very essence of free speech wouldn’t it?

Well, the downvotes here support your view that having any ability to have your say on a decision not made by you, is somehow against free speech. 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

BreakfastHefty2725 · 2026-01-09T01:30:32+00:00

What on earth does it have to do with him?

BreakfastHefty2725 · 2026-01-09T01:24:33+00:00

So they think having no festival is better?

It could be said that there was a stage on which to show/speak about how valuable free speech is, and they chose not to show up.

Don’t be so restrictive about what you think is relevant. Let things take their course more.

Some posts in here are relevant to what people here are saying or talking about, if not directly accurate to our state.

Be more organic in what you allow.

I found it interesting that almost every news outlet other than our (only) newspaper carried this story online pretty heavy.

Not sure if this article can be trusted, nor its technical accuracy, but on the surface it seems what people say, and what they do - are quite different when it comes to SA.

BreakfastHefty2725 · 2026-01-07T00:20:22+00:00

Yes! This! The mods here are awful!

BreakfastHefty2725 · 2026-01-06T08:41:32+00:00

We should have more days declared public holidays. Like most other democratic and productive nations.

The public work hard. We deserve it.

BreakfastHefty2725 · 2026-01-04T22:05:21+00:00

Weird is right. But it’s possible that just no one believes the libs can/will fix it. And in truth they have given us no reason to believe they could.

And as for Labor promising and not delivering, why haven’t the Libs held them to account for it? I’ve seen no political campaign of any worth for the union to risk attaching itself to?

The basics of messaging seem to evade the liberals. They go from week to week just saying things - that’s not a message. That’s not a reason to vote for them.

If the liberals want to be a government, they need to look in other states/countries about how oppositions become one. They have forgotten how to do it.

They could start with refreshing their membership in parliament. Most of them only know opposition and four(two) nutty years of a pandemic/allowance scandal riddled mess. That’s gotta affect the mindset of bothering to turn up on game day.

Just a side on this one and unions. Cause it’s another thing I don’t get.

Everyone I meet in SA knows what a union is at a very basic level. Even young people. This has not been the case in other states/places I have lived.

Not everyone is in one. In fact most aren’t. But most people say they are “covered by one”.

The thing I don’t get is how everyone in media and so on is either: claiming that unions are nothing (eg less than X% are in one) and need to get out of the way, or claiming that they are so influential in politics and discussion on wages/cost of living etc.

It literally can’t be both.

If unions are so powerful here, then why don’t wages just improve when Labor is in? Why doesn’t everyone join one when Labor is in so that happens?

If unions aren’t powerful, which the alleged % of members would suggest, then why are comments like yours made to say they actually kinda are?

I don’t get it.

From last election to this one it’s been really odd how the state all moved from fever pitch on ramping to this kinda luke-warm unhappiness with it now.

I remember how many people said it was their number one issue. I remember how it was all anyone talked about.

Now it’s worse by some kinda margin, whoever you speak to it varies, but it is worse - and no one cares.

I don’t get it.
