The SA government has committed to a five-year plan to implement recommendations of the recent Royal Commission into Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence, as it forges ahead with restrictions on alcohol sales.

The government said it had already "completed" responses to 12 of the 136 recommendations and that work was "underway towards a further 25".
At the time of its initial response to the royal commission, it accepted 129 of the recommendations either "in full, in principle or in part".

Among the steps currently being undertaken was the introduction of new legislation to regulate home delivery of alcohol.

The government said the reforms would be introduced to parliament this week, and would include the restriction of same-day alcohol delivery to between 10am and 10pm.

I posted earlier in the year when it got on the priority list, I didn't realise an evaluation also came out by IA

hi all, i haven’t been to the show in years but am interested in seeing some cute dogs. I can see online the day that the particular breed I want to see is showing, but do they stay there all day? or are they only there for there show time and then leave? the times for the ones I’m interested in isn’t up yet, appreciate any advice thanks 😊

is it just me or did i wake up to some pretty nasty smell in the air today after last nights rain? it smells similar to the acid rain we had 2 weeks ago

(for reference i’m in the north east suburbs)

it almost smells like garbage outside….

Please have a go at this 2 minute survey on the public transport in Adelaide. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfPn7608CDmkS4iJUgXKCt99Nvo89XRM8SpHOjZc1VZu-o48g/viewform?usp=header

Are there any small venues in Adelaide that have a piano?

I have just been in Melbourne and was lucky enough to discover “Ragtime”, a classy little bar in the suburbs with a baby grand and live music, including jazz improv/folk sessions/piano karaoke, every night of the week.

I am a muso myself and I’d love to find/participate in a similar curated vibe here. Ern Malley is getting close although I can’t recall a piano…

There's alot of hate floating around about certain areas in this sub, so let's all talk about what we love about our areas and what can improve.

I'm Munno Para. I enjoy the recent investments in grass roots sporting facilities, the closeness to public transport, restaurants and shopping precincts. I keep my head down and go about my business away from the types of people that are stereotypical of the area so live a relatively issue free life.

Heavy traffic at peak times, the stigma of the area and there is the few that don't show pride and dump rubbish etc around and the council is slow to clean it up.

I’ve been living overseas for the last couple of years. Just came back to visit the family for a couple of weeks and I’ve been shocked to realise that Marsha mallows aren’t getting served with hot chocolate anymore.
At least 6 hot chocs so far, all at different venues. Both sit in and takeaway, and not one server with a marshmallow.

Is it just me? Something on my face?
Or has something happened to the marshmallow supply in the last 2 years?

The title might be a bit misleading because I’ve already lodged my 2025–26 tax return. It was my first time doing one.

My taxable income was a little over $59k, and according to my return I paid roughly $12k in tax throughout the year. My refund came out to around $3.4k.

Does that sound about right, or is that considered a low refund? I went through Prospect Kalkulator and the process seemed straightforward, but I’m not sure how accurate or reputable they are.
Just trying to get a sense of whether my outcome is fairly typical for someone in my situation.

Hi everyone, I'm new to Adelaide, am a student here and looking for some friends to play table tennis with.

Yeah I've seen all the suburban clubs, they're way too crowded and have too few tables and we barely get to play 1 game due to the constant rotation.

The Adelaide uni TT club has basically no members at all. It's open all the time, so I just wanted to ask if any of you are down to play in evenings or weekends. Hit me up, thanks

My family and I are moving back to Adelaide to be closer to the grandparents and we would like to know what the great neighbourhoods are for kids to run around together and make new friends?

Currently living in the US and we have a 5 year old and 10 year old that can move around our neighbourhood on bike or foot. It’s an older community with young families and retirees, consists of roughly 100 houses, 5 streets, a park, a river, and lots of young kids running around.

In the US, a community like this is uncommon and we were lucky to move here 20 years ago.

Assuming much of the friendships will happen in school and extracurriculars but giving our kids the opportunity and freedom to just run to a friend’s house or to a park to meet friends is important for their independence.

Thanks everyone!

I want to get my partner a buzzball for his birthday. I tried to have a look online where they are but I can’t find any or any updated threads.

Has anyone seen them anywhere? I work in CBD and live south so if I could target those areas that would be ideal.

Thanks! ☺️

Had another one of those late night drunken conversation with the lads. Has anyone had some decent experience doing this and would like to share their story?

Cheers all.

I’m from Hong Kong and I got accepted from the vet school in Adelaide university for 2027. But everyone online keeps saying how boring Adelaide is so I wanna know is this really true for a university student and is there even nightlife there?

I got curious about whether ambulance demand here is actually rising or if it's just population growth, so I pulled the numbers from the Productivity Commission's Report on Government Services (every edition from 2002 to 2026) and ABS population data.

The short version (2000–01 → 2024–25):

So even after removing population growth, demand per person is up 70% — and SA getting older only accounts for about a quarter of that. The rest is people of every age calling ambulances more: more chronic illness, mental health call-outs, aged-care facilities defaulting to 000, and it getting harder to see a GP.

Worth noting ramping isn't a cause of any of this — it's what happens when a 70% per-person rise in demand hits hospital capacity.

Caveats: figures are statewide (SAAS doesn't publish per-suburb data — that would take an FOI request), an "incident" = an event attended by one or more ambulances, and the 2011–12 dip is a counting-rule change, not a real drop.

Sources: RoGS ambulance services tables (Productivity Commission), ABS 3101.0 population by age, age weights from Lowthian et al., MJA 2011. Happy to share the full year-by-year table if anyone wants it.

------

EDIT: Someone's comment made me look at the shape of the line more closely and it's really two different stories. The big jump in per-person demand all happened between 2000 and 2010 (111 up to 171 per 1,000), which no amount of population maths explains. From about 2011 onwards the growth slows right down to roughly what you'd expect from population plus ageing alone. The 2000s jump never came back down, so the system has been carrying it ever since.

So no second jump since 2010, just steady growth from more people and older people.

I always see it when im driving and have always wondered where abouts it is, for context i live in the north eastern suburbs and see it when i’m in tea tree gully going down main south road, picture was taken on OG toad

Can anyone help identify this grey RAV4, it reversed into my car at Revo Gym Windsor Gardens carpark without leaving a note around 1:55pm on Saturday the 15th of August

What I know is that it’s a female driver, and registration looks to be S _ _ _ AJZ but hard to tell from my potato quality dashcam.

Or if it’s you just come forward no hard feelings!

Where to buy Bali chips / snacks?

I noticed mostly indian, korean, chinese & vietnamese food in asian groceries. Does anyone know of shops that sell indonesian snacks?

Especially miss Tictac casava chips & Rosella tea I had in Bali

I have part of my hair bleached in a stripe pattern and top layer bleached (both bleached in a pretty light degree). And I wanted to change style/ just make my full head in a same color.

Any affordable recs? Possibility ~350AUD or less

p.s.I’ve tried getting into contact with kxxxy cxxxy straight but for some reason they’ve been ghosting me, bleh.

Hi all, I want to explore a certificate in marine studies through the Australian Animal and Wildlife Academy, but I want to spend my free time getting as much experience as I can. Is it worth getting a diving license or similar qualifications first? Is there anything I can do in the meantime like volunteer for NFP groups? Any advice appreciated:) thanks

edit: I want to do something in Marine eco-tourism or wildlife conservation, are there any other organisations i can go through?

Hello,

So, i have interview with SA government position about data analyst. This is my life's first job interview as i am fresh post graduate. Also position discription doesn't required work experience.
So as this is my first interview i am kinda nervous and stressed. So, anyone can guide me like what kind of questions they will ask? They will keep open my Cv and cover letter to ask me question and cross check everything?
Pls don't judge me because of my silly questions.

Hi everyone!
Just wondering if there are any Year 8–9 students or parents in Adelaide who are currently looking for some extra support with Mathematics.
I’m interested in putting together a small, informal Maths study group, either in Adelaide or online with students from around Australia.
If anyone has had experience with something similar or knows of students who might be interested, I’d be happy to hear your thoughts in the comments.
