Commenting on the story: No illumination: Council’s ‘bob each way’ on Palestine call
I don’t believe that local government should be involved in any way with making comment or decisions regarding this conflict, or any other conflict or political issue .
Local government is just that – local issues for their local community. Councillors obviously have their personal views but they should be kept out of the council chambers. – Carol Vincent
Hasn’t the Adelaide City Council better matters to discuss than this virtue-signalling nonsense? Local councils should not become involved in international affairs. – David Churchill

Commenting on the story: Dry Creek housing development site ‘will be inundated by 2100’

Not many agencies, and the general public, fully appreciate that after the last major ice age between 14,000 to 8,000 years ago, sea level rose by over 100 metres without the help of mankind. This is a rate of sea level rise greater than the 0.84 metres by 2100 predicted by the IPCC. Why bring climate change into the discussion? – Robin George
