David Bidstrup: Is it a new start in SA or just more of the same bullshit?
I am pleased to see the back of Labor and the failure of Mr X and his candidates to get any lower house seats, but his people will likely hold the balance of power in the upper house so the … Continue reading

I saw an article the other day where it was claimed that 16,000 new jobs had been created in one month. Apparently 45,000 permanent jobs were lost and 61,000 casual jobs created. At the risk of getting the “free market … Continue reading

Boris: The price of nationalism?

David Bidstrup: Will “pumped” hydro save us?
Two reports in the Adelaide “Advertiser” caught my eye. One was headlined “Hydro to keep our electricity pumping” and the other concerned another billionaire who wants to save us – “Gupta pledges to fix SA’s energy debacle”. At least he … Continue reading
