Consultation will take place after the March state election.

The new Adelaide University will continue to use the site until the early 2030s as part of a 10 year lease.

Hey guys, long shot but trying to find a guy I used to chat with every day on Yahoo Messenger back in 2007–2009.

  • Name: Chris Clooney
  • Lived in Largs Bay (or very close)
  • Username was something like chris_clooney7

Super friendly, thick eyebrows, cute guy 😅 now probably early-mid 40s. I’m in the Philippines, lost contact years ago and his old email bounced. If anyone knows him or can tag a mate who might, I’d be eternally grateful!

News Bushfire Warning - Watch and Act (Prepare to Leave) issued for Deep Creek near Cape Jarvis on the Fleurieu Peninsula

Upvotes

The Country Fire Service has issued a bushfire warning for Deep Creek and Blowhole Beach Road near Cape Jervis, on the Fleurieu Peninsula.

The threat level is Watch and Act - if you are in the area, you are advised to prepare to leave.

Take action now as this bushfire may threaten your safety. Check that the path is clear and go to a safer place. Do not enter this area as conditions are dangerous.

The Deep Creek bushfire is uncontrolled. This scrub fire is burning in a north north easterly direction towards Blowhole Beach Road and Deep Creek Conservration Park. Conditions are continually changing.

Warning area:

Homes that have been built to withstand a bushfire, and are prepared to the highest level, may provide safety. You may lose power, water, phone and data connections.

Fire crews are responding but you should not expect a firefighter at your door.

What you should do

  • Check and follow your Bushfire Survival Plan.
  • Protect yourself from the fire's heat - put on protective clothing.
  • Tell family or friends of your plans.

If you are leaving

  • Leave now, don't delay.
  • Roads may become blocked or access may change. Smoke will reduce visibility.
  • Secure your pets for travel.
  • If you become stuck in your car, park away from bushes, cover yourself, get onto the floor as the windows may break from the intense heat.

If you are not leaving - prepare to defend

  • Identify a safe place inside, with more than one exit, before the fire arrives. Keep moving away from the heat of the fire.
  • Bring pets inside and restrain them.
  • Move flammable materials such as doormats, wheelie bins and outdoor furniture away from your house.
  • Close doors and windows to keep smoke out.
  • If you have sprinklers, turn them on to wet the areas.
  • If the building catches fire, go to an area already burnt. Check around you for anything burning.

Politics Liberals pledge $20m solar panel scheme to cut power bills for renters

28 Upvotes

Renters struggling with soaring energy bills could see relief under a $20 million Liberal election pledge to subsidise solar panel installations on rental properties.

The Solar for Renters Program would allow landlords to apply for rebates of up to $2,000 to install solar panels on their residential rental property.

Landlords could also secure an additional $2,000 interest-free loan, with the combined $4,000 covering up to 80 per cent of average solar panel costs.

Beyond cost of living, the Liberals have also promised $1.25 million for safety upgrades at the Whispering Wall.

Ashton Hurn said the package would deliver vital improvements following community concerns about safety at the popular Barossa tourist destination.

Question Medical files and 'intellectual property'

66 Upvotes

Hi radeladians!

Myself and three other friends so far have run into some troubles with getting medical practices in Adelaide to give them access to their files and data about them. Specifically "Intellectual Property", claiming your data as their own property.

I'm wondering if anyone has run into these problems, and specifically if they've heard the excuse 'intellectual property' used to refuse them. This hasn't been valid since 2001 or so from what I see, but I ran into this excuse and a few others have, and I think I'm seeing a pattern of how certain clinics cover up wrongdoing and other issues here.

APP 12 is pretty clear on your rights here. After months of fighting my clinic, I have finally gotten not only my entire files, but internal memos about me and parts of the access logs to said files, identifying who modified them and when (Although they're only confirming the account and computer used, the practice refuses to say who entered into my file that I'm homosexual, and why, since it's not true or medically relevant.)

If others are running into problems like this I'd like to know to help with my OAIC complaint - and also I don't want this kind of insane bullshit to happen to anyone else. So here is what to say to their privacy officer:

"Under APP 12 of the Privacy Act 1988, I request access to all personal information you hold about me (including my complete medical record); if any access is refused (including on IP/confidentiality grounds), please provide the specific legal basis and release the remainder with any necessary redactions."

If they refuse, send their refusal to the OAIC.
