Commenting on the story: ‘Nothing to offer’: Moonta locals concerned over pubs with no food

Wouldn’t this be an opportunity for the local football and bowls clubs to step up and fill the gap? If they do it well, the pubs may well find that they lose the bar trade as well. – Kevin McGuiness

Commenting on the opinion piece: Is the State Govt campaigning against its own campaign?

Not only is the State Government campaigning against its own Adelaide 500 campaign – sending contradictory messages about the thrill of speeding, and the dangers of speeding – the Government is also contradicting itself in other ways.

Notably, its support earlier this year for a climate emergency declaration is in tension with taxpayer-funded support of the weekend’s carbon-emission motor sport festival. Likewise the Government’s pre-election promise and support for a Parliamentary Committee inquiry into protecting Adelaide’s tree canopy seem to suggest cognitive dissonance in the face of the Government’s own multiple attacks on Adelaide’s world-unique park lands, as it threatens hundreds of mature trees, to make way for a new high school building, Aquatic Centre, a hospital, a car park and more.

A Government that respected its own messaging would choose brownfield sites for development, rather than targeting tree canopy in the world-unique Adelaide park lands again and again. – Shane Sody

Commenting on the story: Then and now: Piccadilly Cinema enters a new era 

Pity they didn’t step in and save the wonderful art deco Ozone Theatre at Glenelg. Made in exactly the same style with all the same architectural gems. Now replaced by boring office block. Very sad. – Sue Fuller
