The daily diet of news stories contains a few bitter ingredients about the capacity of the present State Government to manage anything.    News about the Desal Plant whose energy source is glossed over when we ask about the ability of SA's electricity supply to cope especially on a hot day when Victoria has a hot day too simply says the Governmnent hasn't a clue and if Martin OMalley CFMEU is right was being hurried too much and that jeopardised safety; and the water restriction abandonment was farcical - got to follow Victoria.   Why?  When Vic water capacity is 80% they have 4-5 years water, when we have 70%  we have about a year's supply.        News about the Adelaide Oval suggests that there is more and even more discussion to be done well after the Government imposed deadline - we could be forgiven I think if we got the impression that the whole deal was a stictch up between our Premier and AFL chief  Demetriou which gave a lifeline to the over committed Adelaide Oval.  Another capitulation to the self congratulation of Victoria?   News about the Nurses shows that the special relationship between the Union movement and the Labor Government claimed by the ALP is all so much spin.     Perhaps our diet needs something   to mask the bitter taste - a sweetener.    How about abandoning the unnecessary railyards project and finshing the RAH to the great and almost immediate benefit of South Australians
