Wouldn't it be a breath of fresh air if Mike Rann's first re-connection with the people was to go to the people and actually ask us how we would like to use this prime piece of real estate, now that is a true democracy. It would not suprise me if even they are starting to think that there are much better uses for this land

How many times have you cursed "Damn P plate drivers" Is that really you speaking or have you been influenced by a government view that ALL young drivers are hoons. Around 12,000 provisional drivers get disqualified each year, reducing the driving experience at a critical point in their development, maybe this is the real reason for an increase in the representation of young fatalities.

How can we expect the general public & business to act with integrity, when the very people who are supposed to lay the foundation for moral and ethical standards fail. The South Australian labour party have sunk to new lows by falsely imitating Family First at various polling booths in the recent state election. What is a further insult to democracy is that one of the candidates has been promoted for his actions, a fantastic message to send the general population. Mike Rann has stated that he wants his party to reconnect with the people, wells here's your chance Mikey.

Is the decision by the SA government to replace the 800 bed Royal Adelaide hospital with a new hospital of similar size on prime real estate a waste of taxpayers money? The net gain of 100 beds to a congested health system at a cost of $2 billions makes the cost of each additional bed $20 million

If you are upwards of 40, you have experienced a world population that has doubled. Our political leaders can no longer longer afford to bury their heads in the sand on the worlds number 1 problem. In the first 2000 years of civilization the population has grown to an estimated 6 billion people globally, yet it is only going to take 100 years to grow this amount again.

The recent Tom Koutsantonis debarcle has again clearly displayed how governments protect their own and lack consistency. If this had been a member of the general public the premiere would have used the hard line approach, yet if it's a minister then try to play it down - hypocrisy at its best.

The petition adjacent has started to gather momemtum with 118 signatures within a week and no promotion. Continue to get others to join and create the snowball effect.

Go to any bulletin board around the world and you will find organised discussions amongst Indian students in particular on how to gain entry to Australia with a view to gaining permanent residency.................

Our political system has been tarnished, our democracy has been threatened. The use of fake how to vote cards to mislead the general public is the sort of thing you would expect in Iraq or Afghanistan but not here in little old Adelaide. The real kick in the face is that a candidate who used this tactic got promoted how's that for sending a strong message to the people to act in an unethical manner gets rewards. If ever there was a case for people power to become motivated then this one act alone will fester and grow within the community
