Business SA, 20th Century thinking? (click)

Dear Business SA,

Are you the same "progressive" group that says South Australia's future is connected with the East Coast time zone? Then I begin to question your credentials!

Are you really so conservative and backward that you can't see the big picture, that South Australia's future is not in Sydney, but in the power house economies west of us, in Asia?

If you were truly 'progressive' you would be pushing for SA to move our time zone 30 minutes to the West, closer to the Asian economies and the same time as Japan! Sydney is not our future.
May I even ask how can Perth prosper and yet its not on Sydney time? I really have difficulty understanding your logic?

However, you have today really proved your conservative backward thinking, by saying that the Adelaide Oval redevelopment will be the saviour of SA?
Wouldn't it make more sense to pressure government for a purpose built, stand alone Stadium with a roof?
Why should Adelaide go from a two "stadium" city, down to one? Is that progress Business SA style?
Ahh but then of course, AAMI Stadium would be a developers picnic! This short term thinking is what has made Adelaide, formerly Australia's third city to now being only bigger than Hobart. We have been going backwards for years.

Politics will never serve SA well, if that is your modus operandi, then get back to your charter and think the big picture.

I really am not impressed by the Bovver Boy style pressure being exerted by your organisation, government and business generally, for the Adelaide Oval redevelopment.
If you reflect, the development really looks more a like Bullens Circus tent. Most of you are old enough to know what I am saying, and would remember Bullens.

Promote SA please.

And may I also ask, what is your opinion of the old North Adelaide Le Cornu paddock, vacant after 22 years of inaction?
Business?........... SA style?
We better believe it.
