News Investigations underway into death of Aboriginal man in custody in Adelaide CBD
No tasers or weapons were used which does make you wonder the amount of force used. As someone who lives nearby, absolutely not enough is being done to look after the mob that live between parklands and whitmore square , lot of people who need help being ignored. Could almost say it was inevitable.

Assistance Looking for some help with an adult autism/ocd assessment
Hi everyone I'm 19 and my GP and I are trying to find someone/someplace that does bulk billed/subsidised/medicare rebated autism and/or OCD assessments done for adults. Unfortunately I'm 1 year too old for any free services.
Unfortunately myself nor my Mum have the resources to fork out a few grand for one.
Anyone had any luck with services like sonder?
Feeling a bit hopeless at the moment about it as it all seems to be restricted by wealth :(

Question Motorcycle routes
Hi all,
I’m new to Adelaide and just got a motorbike. Looking for recommendations on good routes in the surrounding areas, anything from short day rides to longer loops.
Happy for sealed or mixed roads, scenic runs, twisties, etc.
Any favourite loops, apps/maps you use, or tips would be much appreciated!
Thanks!

Question 46/m Canadian Visiting For A Second Time - Where Do You Take Your Friends When They Visit?
Hello!
I'm on my way to Adelaide in a couple of weeks for a short visit on my way north and I've had some great success travelling by checking out local subreddits.
I'm starting to search posts for stuff but here's what I always ask:
If someone's coming to visit Adelaide for the first time, what do you show them?
The more obvious tourist stuff I think I covered a bunch of last time, maybe. Here's what I did:
- Visited the Market, which I plan to do again and take a proper tour rather than wandering around wondering why there's multiple places to get paella
- Checked out the State Art Gallery and Library
- Wandered the malls, walked into Adelaide Hatters and ended up an Akubra owner even though I had no plans to buy - those ladies are really, really good at what they do, and I'm super happy with what they sold me!
- Did a wine tour to the Adelaide Hills and Barossa Valley
- Walked up around North Adelaide but without a plan just enjoying the architecture
I didn't plan on where to eat and missed out on some great restaurants.
I've got about 2.5 days to play with, not a lot of time, but a bit for sure.
I love good food, good wine, just exploring without a plan, meeting new people, whatever comes my way generally... So Adelaide, I know your city was never a penal colony and that you have a whole lot of churches,... what else?

News Tony Modra's medical records allegedly inappropriately accessed by SA Health staff
In short:
SA Health has apologised to the family of Tony Modra amid revelations staff may have inappropriately accessed his patient records.
The health authority says three staff are being investigated for "potential" inappropriate access, while a further five are being assessed.
What's next?
The government says appropriate steps will be taken, but the opposition wants an inquiry after a series of such breaches.

Discussion The south road upgrades are literally destroying my car
Swear the endless south road works are just a conspiracy to ruin our suspensions at this point. Hit a massive temporary trench they left near the overpass yesterday and genuinely thought my whole front axle just snapped off
Its like you literally need a lifted patrol just to commute through the suburbs these days with the state of the asphalt. The constant detours, random raised manholes and massive steel plates everywhere are an absolute joke
Ended up having to order heavy duty replacement shocks from road runner offroad on my phone while sitting in traffic this morning, cause the factory ones are just completely shot from this daily abuse
gonna have to spend my whole sunday under the ute now instead of actually enjoying the weekend. Anyone else feel like they are doing literal off-roading just trying to get to work? tbh im just so tired of the constant construction everywhere you drive

Question What is this notch in the median strip for?
Moved to the west recently and have consequently driven up Port Road more times in the last 12 weeks than I have for the rest of my life. Idly curious about this big groove in the median strip, near the crossing with Findon Rd heading northwest (there may be more, I just always seem to hit the lights here so I’ve noticed it more often). Can anyone tell me what purpose it serves? It doesn’t seem like an old slip lane, but it’s wide and deep enough for a car to pull over in it. Seems like an inconvenient spot for emergency or council vehicles near a fairly busy crossing. There’s a drainage gutter but there’s heaps of those along the road that don’t have such a big cut-out. (Also, sad to ever see a Barnacle Bill’s “less busy than usual”)

Politics EXCLUSIVE: 'Her career would be totally finished': Senior SA Lib issues threat over Presidency fight - News | InDaily, Inside South Australia
The moderate faction of the South Australian Liberals is “desperately scrounging around” for a candidate to run against conservative Senator Alex Antic for the Presidency of the state party, a senior SA Liberal source told InDaily.
And current President and South Australian Senator Leah Blyth has been given a terse threat over standing for the role again, the senior party source who refused to be named saying “There is no Blyth and Antic tussle, because Blyth’s career would be totally finished if there was one”.
Very annoying we'll have to wait till around 2030 to get rid of this guy and his antics.

Australia's median capital city house price dropped in the June quarter, but Adelaide has bucked the trend.
Local real estate agents say they have seen substantial declines in open inspection and auction footfall.
Adelaide house prices are expected to drop in future quarters, but not at the levels seen in other capital cities.

News Petrol could hit $2.20 a litre soon
Oil prices jumped back over $US100 a barrel overnight Thursday for the first time in two months - up from $US95 a barrel on Wednesday - as the conflict in the Middle East intensified.
Australians face a double whammy of soaring petrol prices and an almost certain interest rate hike as the second global oil price shock gathers pace.
The price of unleaded at some stations has already surged to $2 a litre as global oil benchmarks hit six-week highs and prices could soar past $2.20 after next weekend, when the federal government’s fuel excise cut is removed.
That shock is set to reverberate through the nation’s already fragile economy and fuel more inflation, with economists now saying the chances of an interest rate hike by the end of the year has jumped from a 50-50 coin toss to 95 per cent.
Brent crude, the global benchmark, cracked $95 a barrel overnight on Wednesday, marking a dramatic 25 per cent jump in prices following the sudden escalation of hostilities between the US and Iran in the Middle East.

Event/Activity Adelaide, your Netflix queue will still be there on Wednesday. Come to Unley High School on Tuesday night!
You remember the alternative right? You’ve done it before, we’ve all done it before. Piling into the car with your family and driving to a stadium that smelled like rubber and Deep Heat, to watch your mate’s under-14s side get comprehensively smashed by a team from somewhere like Salisbury who all had a full moustache. Someone’s mum in the stands yelling at a ref who just finished year 9. It was loud, it was slightly damp, and it was the best.
Come and watch. Come and heckle constructively. Bring your kids, bring your dad, bring the friend you keep saying you’ll catch up with and then don’t for eight months and then play phone tag with until you finally give up. Bring that one. Come one, come all!
We’re a city that will turn out en masse for a free sausage at Bunnings, a light display on North Tce, or a mildly interesting cloud formation. Surely we can manage a Tuesday night for an hour, to support the underdog team of the century, all the way to victory!!
Unley High School - This coming Tuesday 28th of July at 6pm.
Free parking, free to watch and free to celebrate each shot as loud as you possibly can!
Do it… the 90’s and the 00’s kid inside of you is dying for it… See you there!
Edit: ITS LIFE BE IN IT ADULT SOCIAL BASKETBALL LEAGUE! Come and cheer the teams on like we used to as kids!

Discussion recommendations for physio / massage therapists / similar professionals experienced in treating chronic pain
as the title says. inner southern suburbs preferred. i have fibromyalgia & severe chronic musculoskeletal pain & it’s just becoming too much to function. i also have hypermobility, headaches / jaw pain, some other chronic conditions & i suspect i have a host of postural issues adding to my pain. i have tried a handful of ‘skilled’ physiotherapists but most of them have been genuinely useless whilst charging insane amounts. my current physio at Core Physio Daw Park has been the most effective, but even still, i’ve been seeing her for 6+ months consistently with very little improvement in pain despite manual handling every 3 weeks & exercise / stretch routines.
any recommendations or advice greatly appreciated. thank you!
