The defence firm building frigates and nuclear-powered submarines in Adelaide in multi-billion dollar projects, BAE Systems Australia, will establish at head office at Lot Fourteen. About 500 workers will move to the North Tce site as a cornerstone tenant in the precinct’s Innovation Centre. Premier Peter Malinauskas on Monday unveiled plans for a new Innovation Centre, with three state and federal government projects totalling $100m joining BAE. These include a $60m Australian Defence Technologies Academy, $20m Innovation Hub and $20m Space Assembly Integration and Testing facility. “BAE basing its headquarters at Lot Fourteen, alongside universities, the Defence Technologies Academy, Innovation Hub, space industry and other innovative businesses makes perfect sense. “Our innovation places are key to achieving our ambitions. It is about taking the lead to establish and nurture the right environments that foster collaboration and drive economic complexity, creating new, highly skilled jobs.” BAE Systems Australia chief executive Craig Lockhart said the headquarters at Lot Fourteen would complement the company’s other SA operations at Osborne and Edinburgh Parks. “Over the next 12 months we expect to recruit 800 new employees across our operations, and Lot Fourteen is a key enabler to achieving our growth ambitions,” he said. “As we continue to grow in South Australia and find ways to enhance employee attraction and retention, it’s important we offer a workspace that inspires our teams, fosters creativity and creates spaces for our employees to thrive.”

I imagine he didn't bother considering the implications of being found guilty, as he's not used to negative consequences. I picture him miming this to his lawyer:

Time to get a windscreen/dash mount people. Or get a carplay/android auto head unit - they're really good.

The next few days shows a host of venues offering special events on the solstice theme. Is anyone in here aware of anything else not listed at the link?
Having skimmed the proposed legislation, it looks like scooters are limited to 10kph but "personal mobility devices" can do 25. Sometimes.

Gawler River Brewing opened recently out near Angle Vale: https://maps.app.goo.gl/QHYyDBp5TKAcATe99 They don't seem to have a website, but they are on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/gawlerriverbrewing) and [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/p/Gawler-River-Brewing-100094974213423/) Their beers are tasty and reasonably priced, they do pizzas and charcuterie boards. Give them a try.
Is this like the second time in a week or two that the Premier is thinking about intervening in something? Not really a good look, and will it lead to better outcomes?
Can we get 80 on mount Osmond road please?? It’s only 50 now and it’s just pathetic. Now obviously I’m not expecting everyone to be able to hold 80 the entire time, but there are some sections of road where doing 50 is a snails pace and the cars go even slower around corners so upping it to 80 would just stop the crawling of cars and also make it faster to drive on for everyone.
