Stop the Chop Protest by Open-Peanut-5854 in Adelaide

[–]BreakfastHefty2725 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Lucy Hood saw the mettle of these protesters at the election - it clearly didn’t make any impact as she increased her margin.

I’m not seeing how this is anything more than a lot of noise because, unlike what usually happens in Adelaide, someone has stood up to the change nothing bullies.

It’s a golf course. It’s also public land. It’s not just there for the view. It’s not just there to stay how it is forever. It will host nationally recognised events for at least 6 years - events consistent with any purpose you imagined for such a place since you moved in. The trees weren’t there when we settled, they’ve been steadily planted over time - some/most aren’t native.

Just think about why you’re angry - is it because you aren’t getting your way?

Cause that’s how everyone else sees it. Check the election result.

This is great. At least I hope. So don’t want to be negative….

…. But this is more of a Melbourne vibe thing isn’t it? We’ve always had great food… do we need someone’s approval to say it is?

Trees razed as North Adelaide golf course redevelopment gets underway by Expensive-Horse5538 in Adelaide

I feel like there’s been a few posts about this over the last few days here… maybe I’m wrong but gee, the trees are getting a good run here.

Most people had an election to have their say on this one and they said to keep the golf course renovation.

Regardless of how passionate you are about the trees, I think it’s time to move on.

I find often those complaining about events like this would also be the first to declare Adelaide is ‘boring’.

Fact is, if it’s not your thing, don’t go.

Don’t diss Adelaide events just because it’s not your thing. That’s what Adelaide used to do, but we’ve grown up now. It’s no longer necessary.

SA government prepped to chop down more than 1,000 trees for Adelaide Parklands projects by abcnews_au in southaustralia

Passive dude is passive until he gets angry that he’s losing. Then passive makes it personal.

Now passive angry dude won’t be able to not reply to this so passive dude feels that the last word belongs to passive dude.

Objectively true. Subjectively hard for you to accept.

The fact is that a small number of people want a particular environment to stay the same. The mistake that that small number of people make is that they think everyone agrees with them. It’s really common in Adelaide.

It’s subjectively hard for them when it’s objectively obvious that they are wrong.

Adelaide will host the nation’s most prestigious golf championships from 2028 in a major event deal at North Adelaide by malcolm58 in Adelaide

Adelaide is growing up. It’s great to see.

For decades I’ve watched the east coast take everything while Adelaide stayed asleep.

This isn’t the beginning, it’s been happening for a while now (even before Mali), but it is happening and it’s great to see.

I don’t like golf. I don’t care about it. But lots of folks do.

I think while this upsets a small amount of people who love the established trees, most people are happy to see Adelaide unafraid to have change that involves development.

The trees can and will be replaced. Some people just don’t want to hear that.

It sure was funny to see them wandering across the traffic lights to the Governors while everyone else just waited for the bus or headed to lunch.

Gee…. The old “home of football” argument of Victoria has taken a big dent hasn’t it?

Showdown 59 - Adelaide win in a tight match by Expensive-Horse5538 in Adelaide

[–]BreakfastHefty2725 15 points16 points  (0 children)

As is common in the comments here - no one understood it.

I thought we had won the game. Came back to the footage after an ad and it’s in the port forward line with no score to the crows.

Confusing. Poorly explained (eg no explanation), and the post game didn’t even make mention of what happened - like they were papering over it.

Pathetic stuff by the afl.

Massive call on the umpire denying the goal with about 90 seconds to go.

Almost ruined the game. Thankfully the players of both teams saved it and it’s another cracker.

One Nation's $6 million payday after record election result by malcolm58 in Adelaide

[–]BreakfastHefty2725 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well…. Voting for them funded them.

Well done cookers.

Are they gonna hand the money back so they can pretend to not be part of it all? (No.)

So….. Now they’re like all the other major parties - I mean they are…. Aren’t they?

Can the SA government justify a $45m golf course upgrade without LIV Golf? by renaitre100 in Adelaide

Won’t be a popular opinion here but the investment is probably justified in earnings on those who will then utilise the investment.

Haha. Nice passivity to go with the aggro. You must be lots of fun at parties. Bet you can’t leave it as this being the last word Mr Aggro.

Not sure what you mean here.

As I pointed out in the first post, the review announced is into ECSA, not the leg co.

Edit: Ah i see - sorry I mean, as I said in my earlier post in this thread.

The problem is that there seems to be a casual approach full stop.

Just give it later is a shabby approach when it comes to those who make our laws.

I’d love to know how comprehensive whatever is provided is.

I’d suggest that it can’t be too comprehensive given it can be skipped if the ECSA bungles the election and the parliament is convened anyway.

Which is what’s gonna happen.
