The deteriorating condition of South Australia’s ageing courts infrastructure is impeding authorities from delivering “the standard of justice the South Australian community deserves”, the state’s Chief Justice warns.
Why do governments try to sell grand plans that haven't been properly thought through? Matthew Abraham questions why the Malinauskas Government has been horsing around on a couple of significant decisions.
The state government has chosen Adelaide Airport as its preferred location for a new police horse barracks along with a “staging post” on vacant city land – overruling SA Police’s controversial preference for an 8ha site on the southern park lands.

Premier Peter Malinauskas says the state government is considering “about four options” to relocate the police horses barracks from Thebarton, with a final decision to be made within two weeks amid ongoing protest at SA Police's preferred 8ha site in the southern park lands.
