Our survey found that only 9% of SA renters have adequate insulation in their homes. This proposed bill by SA Greens & @SimmsRobert requiring SA rental homes to meet min. insulation standards would do a lot to make SA homes healthier & more affordable. buff.ly/3Z4wVIL

Renters struggling to keep their homes warm this winter could soon get some relief. Landlords could be forced to make houses more energy efficient but they are warning it will be tenants who will pay. @andrealnicolas #saparli #7NEWS

There's fresh calls for public transport to be free for everyone, but the government isn't on board, claiming it would make the network valueless.
Train, tram and bus usage in Adelaide still hasn't bounced back to pre-pandemic levels. @ollie_haig #9News

The premier has been accused of jumping the gun by planning a taxpayer-funded trip to China on the back of the university merger agreement. He will jet off in September but critics say he should not be spruiking the deal just yet. youtu.be/ZJn_dODKg0w @AndreaLNicolas

Greens Leader @SimmsRobert says there are “extraordinary revelations” that Premier @PMalinauskasMP would commit half a billion dollars without seeing the full business case of the university merger. @9NewsAdel
Robert Simms MLC retweeted
The Premier has admitted he didn't read the full business proposal, before making the historic decision to merge two of Adelaide's universities.
It's prompted fierce criticism from the opposition which says it won't be rushed into supporting the deal. @ollie_haig #9News

Amid the announcement of an agreement to work towards the merger of the @UniofAdelaide and @UniversitySA, @greensSA MP @SimmsRobert says a parliamentary inquiry should be held into the decision making process and cost of the merger.
Simms says the South Australian public has the right to understand the aspects of the deal and that the full business case should be released.
Do you think the details of the university merger should be released publicly? | #saparli
