Maybe one day sure, but in the last few years either party pushing a nuclear power plant during a campaign would have lost, and any government pushing one after election would have lost the next one before getting anything started. Hasn't reached any sort of tipping point yet, and a nuclear plant has not only the over 50 NIMBY brigade fighting it, but the more environmentally conscious 18-30s as well.

that is why SA needs to be annexed from the federation. by severing the state from the teet, it can go on its merry way.
alternatively, removing South Australian's right to vote and send in a task force to fix the state.

Wow, that's right up there with the Young Liberal mantra to scream for a new election NOW every time they lose one

I don't think it matters who wins in SA. the problem is cultural, thus it can only be fixed by outsiders.
Let me guess you will lead the charge at the head of your merry band of do gooders, you really do have a strange sense of humour PR.

There is something wrong with South Australia, we need people without a socialist mandate to save us
Let me have another guess, the Hallelujah Party/Family First/IPA.
Young people have been leaving this state for years especially to Melbourne & Sydney & i doubt that no matter who is in power it would be very unlikely that trend would stop, not sure what would change the fortunes of this state other than a mining boom but i was resigned to the LP having a go at the last election & thought it was probably the best option but look what happened the LP stuffed up another winnable election & maybe a lot more angst should be directed to the incompetents who actually run the conservatives of this state.

Buy a mirror and you will see what is wrong with SA and South Australian's.

no chance
I am only interested in people willing to help themselves
why would I waste my time trying to help people who don't want help, don't want opportunity, don't want to work and don't want to prosper?

It is but it doesn't have to be. It could and should be the richest state in Australia.
The welfare mentality is too great whether it be dying industry on the tit, public servants or straight out welfare. The place needs a shake up but that won't happen if SA gets to vote on it.
Equally divide S.A. up between the states that border it
The cost of having a shithouse, unimaginative Government - matched only by the pathetic Opppsition.
Bloated PS, one of the highest taxing (if not the highest) Govts in the country, and seemingly no real plan as to what the future is. The great initiative to prepare for the Holden closure was to randomly ring people and ask what they thought they Govt should do - absolutely moronic. Ring the businesses, meet with them, talk to them; put strategies in place to help them grow... And then get out of the way.
There is still a reasonable amount of confidence in some sections of the economy; but if the sub project doesn't come to fruition, the few years surrounding the Holden closure could be extremely bleak.
Victoria can have anything south of the Murray River? State government here doesn't seem to think anything exists outside Adelaide.
Yep.
It's that simple.
All you need to do is get rid of unemployment benefits, pensions, hospitals, schools, roads etc., and anything else the government spends money on and Adelaide will quickly become the richest state in the world evs.
If only we were all clever enough to see what you see.

nah its not like that at all. you just need to convince an electorate not to give up, take the fear away about doing work and stop the negativity highlighted by your post.
everyone can see the opportunity as its staring people in the face. but its scary to embrace change.

What opportunity would that be exactly? There has to be one to embrace it.

fuzzy terms make for a strange post
Give up on what precisely?
And wheres your evidence that people 'fear' work
And lastly, if the opportunities are so glaring you should highlight them so we can all embrace the change

what do you see as three industries SA could do that would make a massive difference? what would SA have to do as a state to make it happen?

a hint would be Spain in the 80s.
Americans told the spanish that olive oil was bad for their health as it wasn't polyunsaturated. What the spansh needed was to consume America's canola oil!
What would be SAs olive oil? how could we build a multi-billion dollar industry and dare I say it.....a trillion dollar industry on (based on revenues)?
If Tassie had a border with S.A they could have their own share
But in all fairness W.A. should just annexe S.A.

No, I'm asking you.
Manufacturing is dead, resources live and die with demand from China, agriculture for export on that scale is unsustainable, according to you federal defense contracts are welfare, so what is this glaring opportunity that only you seem to be able to see?
What we should have done was leverage our defense contracts and defense contractors to get first bite at the NBN and pivot to the technology and information sectors, but allowing the Tory luddites to burn the NBN at the stake for witchcraft killed any chance of that happening soon enough.

again, so negative.
can you not think of two or three positive things that SA could focus on?
