SA's algal bloom hasn't disappeared, it's just been 'taking a ride'
While Adelaide is largely having a reprieve from the algal bloom, it is a different story on the south-west tip of the Yorke Peninsula with locals reporting fish kills and discoloured water.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

When an Australian government isn't doing enough for its citizens, it doesn't grow the left, it grows the right and the right adjacent. The great misunderstanding in Australian politics is confusing why people do that, and how what they want is different to the ideology attached to where they went.
