Commenting on the story: Legal threat after city council changes prayer
Matthew 6:5 – And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward.
6:6 – But when you pray, go into your inner room, shut your door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
6:7 – And when you pray, do not babble on like pagans, for they think that by their many words they will be heard.
6:8 – Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him. – Kerrod Trott
Commenting on the story: Voice to parliament referendum date reveal
October 14? During school holidays? How quaintly perverse.
What a headache for the millions planning to be away. What a headache for the electoral bureaucracy. – Samela Harris
Commenting on the story: ‘Tell me where else you would put the houses’
Stay informed, daily
Planning Minister Champion on the defensive regarding the proposed Greenfield development was odd to read and a change in flavour of what I’d hope and expect of the current government.
Reactionary planning policy, the ‘it is what it is’ and ‘it is what people want’ attitude is not helping in assuring the issues this type of development will come with is even going to be seriously mitigated. Especially with public transport.
There’s the car dependency question: If it does in fact does turn out that half of those living there will work in the Barossa (let’s hope there’s modelling that has been done to support that position) that means they will still need drive there so … how does that help reduce car dependency?
Yes Mr Champion, forget buses. I very much agree they are unpopular. That’s doesn’t mean you are off the hook. That is no excuse to end the topic there. Mass transit is a proven and publicly desired solution. None of the areas marked for greenfield development are in proximity to existing train/O-Bahn/tram services.
A better answer would have been to give more certainty that high quality mass transit will be provisioned to service a population when it is in a greenfield development. – Martin Bogovic
