Commenting on the story: 21-storey Rundle St apartment block bid
I can’t believe this. If we consent to this degradation of the precinct, the atmosphere and charm of this precious corner of Adelaide will disappear.
Why will visitors to the city, whether from the country or suburbs, interstate or overseas wish to see a high rise looming over these historical buildings. This corner of the city was the lifeblood of Adelaide, supporting the fruit and vegetable markets, butchers, coffee and tea merchants, and many more. Let’s start to respect our heritage before it’s too late. – Angela Bannon
Come on people, Adelaide will look like Hong Kong. – John Douglass

No! Totally inappropriate and will destroy the character of the area. The heritage buildings and character of the precinct are a destination attaction. This building would totally destroy that. The east end precinct is why overseas and interstate visitors visit – it’s quintessentially Adelaide. – Kerry Hallett
Commenting on the story: Household power bills up 25 per cent in six months
Power companies should pay solar panel owners the wholesale price of electricity as the feed in tariff. The amounts paid are dropping by more than 50% as of now.
At a time when clean power should be supported to the maximum, this is unacceptable. It is increasing the profits of the power retailers and will significantly impact on providers of rooftop solar panels. It is probably now not worth installing solar panels if you do not already have them. – Grant Sutherland
