Episode Details

Former South Australian MP Annabel Digance and her husband lose lawsuit against Premier Peter Malinauskas, as Supreme Court judge dismisses malicious prosecution claim. The case stems from a 2020 incident where Digances husband allegedly demanded a parliament seat or threatened to harm Malinauskass career. Malinauskas reported the incident, leading to blackmail charges. The charges were later dropped, but a court error listed Digance as guilty. Digance argued Malinauskas abused his power, but the judge ruled there was no malicious prosecution. Malinauskas welcomed the decision, stating it shows leaders can report wrongdoing without fear. The case returns to court on March 16th for final orders.
