Just burn the world and be done with it.

"I think currently the regulation allows for developers to build new properties with garages that are frankly just too narrow," Premier Peter Malinauskas told ABC Radio Adelaide.

"You can't even fit a Hilux or a four-wheel drive in them and that just doesn't make sense given that's where such a significant proportion of the new sale car market in Australia comes from."

Jeez, wasn't expecting a premier to say that crap. Not even a Liberal prem, although it's not as if Labor inspires much faith either.

In some fields Malinauskus is more right wing than his Liberal party predecessor. Urban development is one of the big ones.

This is the premier who says "urban sprawl is not a dirty word", totally killed the right to protest in South Australia and is dedicated to commercialising the parklands. But he did undo the insane privatisation of the rail system so he's not totally blind to a good thing.

What a knob. Hopefully SA can push themselves to a better premier.
