Back to EpisodesLabor's Landslide: SA's Political Landscape Shifts
Description
South Australias 2026 election resulted in a Labor landslide, with Premier Peter Malinauskas securing a dominant win. The Liberals suffered a significant loss, clinging to a few lower house seats and facing potential irrelevance. Voters expressed frustration with the major parties, boosting One Nation to three or four lower house wins. Independents secured local victories, but Labors majority means they hold no balance of power. Former Liberal leader David Speirs failed as an independent. Labor is now focusing on discipline, despite some stumbles, as preferences backfired on the Liberals in rural areas. The political landscape has shifted, and time will tell if this new dynamic persists.
