Adelaide City Council will spend up to half a million dollars to make an accessible playground named in honour of Quentin Kenihan comply with the Disability Discrimination Act.
Key points:
An accessible playground has been opened in his honour
More money will have to be spent to make it fully accessible
The playground, which opened last year, does not currently meet key stakeholder expectations , a report to the council found.
Vapes? Check. Beers? Check? Cocktails? Check. Indian-Australian fusion restaurants? Check.
There was even – for the quick-to-sneer, traveller-not-tourist types, just the right amount of ~authentic~ city vibes.
As I learned in the 7/11 queue on my way home from Borealis, as the guy behind me cracked up his mates by furiously ‘air humping’ me every time I turned around to face the counter, Adelaide is no Abu Dhabi.
Anyway: back to the start of the night. I bustled my way to the end of the main street (stopping to eat dinner along the way) and then suddenly the bright lights of the avenue were behind me. I entered a new world of Gluttony.
