Question of the week

Is the State Government in crisis over child protection? Definitely yes, and yes.

News

Transport dominated our coverage early in the week, with a senior public transport bureaucrat revealing that the State Government has considered a bus lane for the centre of Main North Road, and questioning the Government’s commitment to the Port Adelaide tram extension, given that it has approved a cafe to be built on the Entertainment Centre tram stop.

We revealed first that popular Prospect Mayor David O’Loughlin is set to be preselected as Labor’s candidate for the seat of Adelaide at the March 2014 election.

We were also first to report that convicted murderer Derek Bromley, who has protested his innocence for 29 years, has been recommended for parole for the first time.

Another exclusive revealed why Planning Minister John Rau used his powers to override the Adelaide City Council to open the way for the new St Andrews Hospital building to gain an extra storey.
