Joe Ienco. Officially Endorsed Upper House Candidate To Fight For Adelaide Motorplex

[James34]

So anyway, getting back OT, what is the deal with the Motorplex anyway?

I'm sure it's been discussed before, but I wouldnt mind a quick description of what it will be if anyone can be bothered.

I mean, will it be privately funded?

Open to public at any time? Or just events?

Any idea as to prices etc?

What other features will it have?

Sounds promising anyway, so I will definitely consider someone who is pushing for it. Especially someone anti-Rann.

It was the backing of Atkinson that tipped my loathing for Labour over the edge.

You said your a lawyer, read what has already been written

Here is Some info about policies etc. take a look...

Open Letter

Independent Joe Ienco - Motorsports, Land Tax, Mental Health and ICAC

To all South Australians

As a Candidate in the upcoming Election on the 20th March 2010, I am standing for election as an Independent in the Legislative Council, where there is a real opportunity of electing a candidate that will stand up and fight for these issues on your behalf. I firmly believe that these are very important issues that effect the whole community and need to be addressed as a matter of urgency.

Motorsports

A potential Investment of $150 million dollars from private investors will be lost at the Port because the Rann Government does not want to allocate the land to the Adelaide Motorplex Consortium, which would bring back drag racing in Adelaide and generate many jobs and associated tourism for our State. I have been to many of these rallies to secure the facility over a number of years, the people want it, the Opposition is committed to it, it's simply a no brainer for this not to happen. This is a real opportunity to keep our youth off the streets and putting them on the track where they can learn real advanced safety driver training.

Land Tax

I am calling for a complete overhaul of the current Land Tax burden which is outrageous.

I am constantly reminded how the excessive taxes in SA are such a huge disincentive for future investment in this State. Land Tax is a major issue with SA being a whopping 126% above the National average which was the case recently until minor relief was offered by the State Government however excessive Land Tax still remains the one single factor inhibiting everyday South Australians from buying property in SA. Stamp Duty comes a close second which in many cases is the reason that first home buyers cannot get into the market and realise the great Australian dream of owning their own home. The Federal Government gives them a Home Savings Grant then they are hit with a $20,000 or thereabouts Stamp Duty Bill which obliterates the Grant. (NSW does not charge Stamp Duty for First Home Buyers). If as a State we could remove Land Tax, offer First Home Buyers no stamp duty and put in some decent infrastructure like a North South Freeway, we would not have to offer Companies Millions of Dollars in incentives to do business here as the word would get out that South Australia is a progressive State with reasonable taxes and a great place to live and invest!

Let us not forget that Stamp Duty was to be abolished by both parties when the GST came in nearly ten years ago. This promise need to be honoured.

Mental Health

This issue is one that is continually swept under the carpet and it astounds me that the Rann Government who stands for Social Justice would even consider using the slogan Social Justice when they are continually ignoring people with Mental Health Issues and to even to think of selling off the Glenside facility defies logic,- instead it must kept for the benefit of all South Australians, I would like to remind the Rann Government that there is 20% of the community effected by this issue alone and their associated families and friends and let us also not forget about other people with disabilities, they need proper care and assistance as well.

Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC)

I have been in favour of an Independent Commission against Corruption for many years and it amazes me that both the Attorney General and the Rann Government are so opposed in having an independent umpire investigate matters of State.

In the Justice System there is a saying that goes like this, Justice not only has to be done, but must be seen to have been done, and if you have nothing to hide there should be no problem in establishing an ICAC in South Australia. The argument that it costs $18 million, money can be found for all other issues but for self scrutiny no funds are available, this is ridiculous.

The Judiciary

A dangerous precedent has arisen when both the Attorney General and the Rann Government have transgressed throughout their term in office, they have interfered with the Judiciary in regards to three separations of power which are: The Legislator, The Judiciary, and the Office of Public Prosecution and it is imperative these three constitutional authorities must be kept separate at all times.

All these issues effect the whole community in our State, both socially and morally and must be addressed. We were fortunate at the last election to have Nick Xenophon fighting for common sense issues throughout his term and I am sure he will continue on fighting as a Senator representing our State in Federal Parliament, but we need to have representation in SA in the Upper House.

I Joe Ienco and Brenda Bates are putting ourselves forward for your consideration on March the 20th to continue the fight with common sense and therefore I am seeking your support and Vote 1 Independent Joe Ienco above the line in the Upper House Ballot Paper.

As you know everyone in the State can vote for the Upper House.

Independent Joe Ienco Motorsports, Land-Tax, ICAC VOTE 1

If you could forward it on to your family and friends it would be much appreciated

Not to mention off street drag meets, motor events along the lines of what other states have eg: powercruise, burnout comps, even motor boat racing is on the cards etc etc

^^ i call bs what more car related do you want a polly that is standing for the motorplex

SAU at times are a pack of hyaena's get a spelling error or grammatical error and you get crucified

mate just because this bloke is for the motorplex doesnt necessarily mean I wanna vote for him

the liberals too are for the motorplex, I need to be convinced that this dude is worthy to vote for

and if you want a dedicated thread to discuss politics, ask the mods for permission to do so, I dont think it has any more relevance than some of the other threads that have been deleted by mods for being OT, and given the passionate nature of peoples political views, would likely descend into a pollie bashing farce. Won't make one iota of difference to government policy.

1) i was't implying for you to change your voting preference, just reiterating that he is pro motorcomplex

2) this is a car forum and he is a car orientated polly what more car related does it get

3) um just wanted 3 dot points

do agree 1000% need to be convinced he needs to be worthy to vote for, he came in at the 11th hour and no one really knows him

people know more about family first than Joe Ienco

absolutely, i didnt think u were implying that i should change my vote, more iterating that i dont know much about him

im interested to know his views on the hospital and stadium debates, what they want to do with the aquatic centre, the tonsley park mitsubishi land, etc etc

the land tax thing is good, sled reckons its not gonna happen anytime soon but considering housing is getting harder for people to buy, any attention on that issue could be welcome.

i dont think a pollie who backs the motorplex is necessarily a car oriented pollie, moreso one who is listening to the public's requests - which is more a reason to vote for the bloke but less of a reason to keep a dedicated political thread (i fear it'll turn into arguments as to who is more car oriented than the other)

that said, family first can eat scat. I'd vote for Joe over them anyday as it stands

-D

[Madaz]

yeah but as this debate really only comes up every 3 odd years I'm inclined to just roll with a thread like this

The post doesnt indicate it will be, it indicates what if it were to be

[SLED]

whatever the context, even mentioning it is like saying all taxes will be wiped out.....it was a ridiculous statement

[typevu]

vote for turbo tom he is a hoon just like all of us

I saw his posters along Henley Beach Rd... was thinking of scribbling HOON on it!
