Flinders U is thrilled that “students from across Adelaide will find it even easier to get to Flinders University thanks to an $85 million rail extension.” Um, that will be the link to the Tonsley Station that the state and commonwealth governments agreed was a good idea in December 2015 and that the prime minister promised in May last year. And now the SA parliament’s public works committee has approved the project. This is a commendable efficiency in recycling announcements but maybe somebody should ask Elon Musk if he could knock up a hyperloop to Flinders when he finishes fixing the state’s power problems.
