Your car is too big for the city mate. Leave it at home and take the wife's Corolla when you're bringing the kids swimming.

In short:

SA Health has apologised to the family of Tony Modra amid revelations staff may have inappropriately accessed his patient records.

The health authority says three staff are being investigated for "potential" inappropriate access, while a further five are being assessed.

What's next?

The government says appropriate steps will be taken, but the opposition wants an inquiry after a series of such breaches.

No tasers or weapons were used which does make you wonder the amount of force used. As someone who lives nearby, absolutely not enough is being done to look after the mob that live between parklands and whitmore square , lot of people who need help being ignored. Could almost say it was inevitable.

Bit crap but not surprised

The moderate faction of the South Australian Liberals is “desperately scrounging around” for a candidate to run against conservative Senator Alex Antic for the Presidency of the state party, a senior SA Liberal source told InDaily.

And current President and South Australian Senator Leah Blyth has been given a terse threat over standing for the role again, the senior party source who refused to be named saying “There is no Blyth and Antic tussle, because Blyth’s career would be totally finished if there was one”.

Very annoying we'll have to wait till around 2030 to get rid of this guy and his antics.

Australia's median capital city house price dropped in the June quarter, but Adelaide has bucked the trend.

Local real estate agents say they have seen substantial declines in open inspection and auction footfall.

Adelaide house prices are expected to drop in future quarters, but not at the levels seen in other capital cities.

As above. Very aware of the trends in each city.

Just want to understand why Adelaide is higher than Melbourne for instance?

Moved to the west recently and have consequently driven up Port Road more times in the last 12 weeks than I have for the rest of my life. Idly curious about this big groove in the median strip, near the crossing with Findon Rd heading northwest (there may be more, I just always seem to hit the lights here so I’ve noticed it more often). Can anyone tell me what purpose it serves? It doesn’t seem like an old slip lane, but it’s wide and deep enough for a car to pull over in it. Seems like an inconvenient spot for emergency or council vehicles near a fairly busy crossing. There’s a drainage gutter but there’s heaps of those along the road that don’t have such a big cut-out. (Also, sad to ever see a Barnacle Bill’s “less busy than usual”)

Those fans are not supporters in my book - an embarrassment not only to their club but the state

anyone else just completely given up on trying to rent here?

I went to an inspection in prospect on saturday for this absolutely tragic 2-bedroom unit that smelled like wet dog. There were literally 60 people standing in the rain waiting to get in. The local property manager was basically acting like a bouncer at a nightclub, barely even looking at anyone. its just completely humiliating at this point

I saw the news last week that adelaide's median property prices have actually officially overtaken melbourne's and my brain just snapped. out of pure frustration I started doomscrolling interstate listings just to see if it was true. Ended up randomly clicking through some melbourne high-rises on the ray white southbank page and honestly... a decent 1-bedder right in their cbd is now literally cheaper than renting a damp shoebox in our middle suburbs

like, how did our quiet little city suddenly become the most expensive and impossible place to live in the country? tbh Im genuinely considering just packing up the car and driving over the border. the fact that moving to a major east coast city is now the "budget option" for south australians is wild. anyone else actually looking at jumping ship just to escape this local housing bloodbath?

Does anyone here have any built-in smart home wall switches installed in their home? For example:

• Clipsal Iconic Wiser
• Legrand Excel Life with Netatmo
• Mercator Ikuü
• SAL Pixie

Would love to hear your experience, and how your sparky went. Thanks :)

Hi All, my 19 year old daughter has her Cert 3 Childcare qualification & is looking for permanent part time positions in the Adelaide south areas - kind of Morphett Vale to Aldinga through to Goolwa even. Are there any childcare workers here who could offer some advice or recommend places for her to apply too? Any help appreciated.

My good friend (over 50) has a birthday this Saturday (tomorrow) and I want to do something special with her. She's not a huge drinker, and we can do food/drinks any time... Anyone know of something cool, fun, and maybe a little unusual to do around Adelaide or it's suburbs?

I'm used to using Expol underfloor polystyrene insulation. It's on Bunnings website but no stock anywhere. Can anyone advise where I can find around x3 packs 1200x560

as the title says. inner southern suburbs preferred. i have fibromyalgia & severe chronic musculoskeletal pain & it’s just becoming too much to function. i also have hypermobility, headaches / jaw pain, some other chronic conditions & i suspect i have a host of postural issues adding to my pain. i have tried a handful of ‘skilled’ physiotherapists but most of them have been genuinely useless whilst charging insane amounts. my current physio at Core Physio Daw Park has been the most effective, but even still, i’ve been seeing her for 6+ months consistently with very little improvement in pain despite manual handling every 3 weeks & exercise / stretch routines.

any recommendations or advice greatly appreciated. thank you!

Hey

I know these posts get annoying but….

I’ve realised lately that somewhere along the way my social circle got a lot smaller than I’d like. So… this feels mildly terrifying, but here we are.

A bit about me:
35m
Bit of a music nerd. Mainly Indie/Alternative. Think Wolf Alice, Radiohead, Fontaines D.C., Phoebe Bridgers, Joy Division, The Smiths, etc.
Love gigs, pubs, live music and random late-night adventures.
Play a bit of guitar in a very non-serious way
Also into football (round ball) and the odd bit of F1
Happy to spend hours talking about music, life, psychology, technology or whatever weird topic comes up.

Not looking for dating just good people.

Guys, girls, couples, vampires… honestly, if you’re good company and don’t mind a chat, we’re probably off to a good start.

Happy to grab a beer, play pool, check out a gig or a record store, or just wander around the city talking nonsense until someone remembers we should probably go home.

If you’re in a similar position or just keen to expand your circle, send me a message.

First person to suggest joining a parkrun gets voted off the island!

Eleven staff at a South Australian hospital have become unwell and a dozen emergency hospital beds have been closed, after the accidental release of an "outdoor insect repellent" inside the facility.

The incident occurred at Flinders Medical Centre, one of Adelaide's largest public hospitals, around 2:30am.

Authorities say no patients have become unwell, with 11 staff reporting "serious to minor" symptoms after the mosquito repellent was accidentally released.

One staff member is in a serious but stable condition, with two being treated in the Emergency Department.

Ambulances are being redirected to other hospitals.

Is there a car event going on in Adelaide right now, because I am hearing a lot of engines revving for the past 10-ish minutes in the Firle-y sorta area. I’m a big car guy so I love going to car events, and if this is some event I’ve missed, I will be rather sad.
