We're going to dig up Mickey Rooney and give it some Breakfast At Tiffany's under the Semmy jetty?

GM? Holden factory announcement?

EDIT (I should also say, at this point this state is crying out for some economic stimulus/foreign direct investment, whatever comes of this all power to you)

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

pro eastern sea board High Speed Rail announcement expected, can't see any PAFC/SA gains there other then steel maybe helping Wyalla

Any high speed railway actually being built and not just talked about being built, is years from being announced - and when it is, it will start in SA or Victoria first due to state government policies, especially around land acquisition.

The Chinese are buying Australian homes INXS?

 

[Jonts]

Doesn't rule out something to do that revamps the Port Adelaide area/port

Doesn't really support Geoffa32 proposal (that was beating anything i had though of at the time though)

Needs to incorporate country towns imo then you can be an hours train ride from the city you work in but still live in Dubbo, Mt Gambier, ect ect

If Turnbull makes the announcement will it last more than a week?

Turnbull to announce that announcements will be made in two weeks; some really good news is just around the corner.

I have no idea what is going on

In all seriousness though, the Chinese government are announcing a partnership with TransAdelaide to deliver high-speed buses to Adelaide Oval.

If you go the Maglev self driven 500+km/hr trains you will have long express routes and the shorter many stop routes. Once the track infrastructure is built it will be easy to incorporate towns. But you will have to build service towns anyway because you need people continually maintaining the track and upgrading.

I dont think you want to live in Mt Gambier and travel to Adelaide or Melbourne every day for work. Tailen Bend type distance would be wiser.

Thats true, I'm not to concerned about the towns but if you make transport to work possible it will work wonders for demand of houses in the adelaide suburbs and create growth in suitable towns (not to dissimilar to what happened/happening in the Mt Barker area now with the South Eastern freeway

Cant see why the Chinese would get involved in manufacturing in Australia considering they do it vastly cheaper in their own country.

Direct Flights to Adelaide oval perhaps

 

[Boss351]

hmm if the GMH Elizabeth plant gets a second life then good for SA I guess, still slightly miffed after the Birkenhead GMH was demolished around 30 years ago with big plans and still vacant.

Cynical about election promises and photo ops when nothing has happened in the governments term other then slash and burn, I'm trying to remain positive when people I trust are buoyant and optimistic

natural resources kickback I guess?

Planes come close enough as it is, skydiving onto the Adelaide Oval climb.

Not another o-bahn extension. Somebody please think of The trees.

Its only high end, low volume and high priced goods that they would be interested in the manufacturing field. They are interested in what Australia has a comparative advantage in, cheap land, minerals and resources, agriculture, fisheries, food production, real estate, vertically integrated tourism projects and some services ie educational and professional services.

Maybe it's a high speed chunnel to Edithburgh so all our Yorke Peninsula friends can get to the night games easier.

Plus I can go fishing after work.
