Well this is comforting news as I board a Rex plane to Port Lincoln… 😳
A Rex plane’s engine has caught fire while on the runway at Adelaide Airport. Passengers bound for Broken Hill were forced to get off just before takeoff. #7NEWS

Notice the subtle change... Just like how we went from "global warming" to "climate change", we've now gone from "instances of extreme weather events" to "economic losses from extreme weather events". Cyclones, fires and floods can remain just as common or even decrease, but
Climate change is driving up insurance costs & making homes uninsurable 🇦🇺ns are paying the price while disasters worsen As Minister Bowen said: "The cost of inaction will always outweigh the cost of action" We need real action & investment in adaptation

I honestly didn’t think there was any other version, all my mates are “trad dads”, as our dads before us… you know, being a dad.
It’s time for fathers to be fathers again to their kids and not be their friends. Progressive parenting has destroyed the role of the father in the home and it’s time fathers step up again and be that figure of the home once more.

I thought "surely this cannot be true"... so, I checked and yes, it is. WTF.
The Australian Federal Government is selling out Australians. Anyone, regardless of citizenship status, on the provision they’ve never used the First Home Super Scheme can use this scheme. Yes, non-permanent residents can use it I thought the scheme was meant to help

A new Liberal Government will fight for small business and restore confidence in our economy. We will lower taxes by increasing the payroll tax threshold from $1.5 million to $2.1 million and delivering exemptions for apprentices and trainees. We will cut red tape and create

Great to see Labor finding talent to endorse our policy to introduce 50c fares in the media today! #50centfare

Look at what Labor deliver, not what they say. - Weakest business confidence in the nation. - Highest unemployment rate in the nation. - Declining job vacancies. - A significant increase in the size of government and state debt.

Trains are currently not running between Adelaide and Mawson Lakes on the Gawler line, due to an incident. Services between Mawson Lakes and Gawler Central are operating. We apologise for the inconvenience.

One-day-old Transport Minister @emsbourke has missed the detail. No existing free or cheap fares will be scrapped under our policy. Everybody wins, except Labor who continue to offer little-to-no cost of living relief.

The Liberals have a plan to ease Labor's cost of living crisis. That's why we're introducing 50c fares on public transport.

It’s so disappointing that the bloke who was a Labor Minister when they sold off our forests has been reappointed as the State’s treasurer 🤦🏻♂️

Tom Koutsantonis in his first address as Treasurer talking “renewed confidence” in the SA economy. Reality check: Under Labor, SA business confidence is weakest in the nation (NAB) and SA has the worst unemployment rate in the nation (ABS).

Today I moved a motion in the Legislative Council in memory of Charlie Kirk and condemning political violence of all kinds. Please watch. Charlie Kirk should still be alive today. What has struck me most since his assassination is the response I have seen on social media. Too

Murdered for having a different opinion and offering to debate it with anyone. RIP Charlie Kirk.

5201 hours lost to ramping in August. Instead of fixing the crisis like they promised, Labor quietly drops the data while the Premier jets overseas. South Australians deserve better.
