Agree

But note Labor are making Malinauskas the pin up boy for people like you - Mr Popular on every issue

Well they're doing a good job. Mind you, as long as that other bloke is in charge of the Libs, everyone else will look good so they need to change that quick smart.

If only Speirs was their actual problem.

The modern day SA Libs are the most inept organization SA politics has seen. They knife each other at the drop of a hat. Their factions are built on their old school tie meetings at the Adelaide Club and old family money dictates their moves. They don't listen to the people. They don't listen to the most powerful unions.

Keep in mind child protection and transforming health were in an absolute mess under Labor and these clowns got themselves kicked out after just one term.

Speirs is their best bet, that's how shit they are.

Union membership is heading downwards sharply in many sectors and in some it’s nearly non existent.
They haven’t got anywhere near the power they once had

I've just had to explain to the office what I'm laughing at.

Now we're all in tears! Thanks Jim. Good times.

Fancy a politician listening to the people and having policies that people agree with

And as such you have seen in the past Unions merge together.

Booney wrote:The South Australian Liberal Party has called in police over a significant data breach involving the personal details of 2000 members.

Detectives are investigating allegations that party officials were impersonated as part of a deception that access names, addresses, phone numbers and other personal details of party members.

In an email to members on Friday morning, three days after police were called, the party said it “recently received a number of seemingly routine requests for certain membership lists”.

“These requests were subsequently determined to be fraudulently undertaken, involving the electronic impersonation of Liberal Party office bearers entitled to receive membership lists under our constitution,” the email said.

“Details such as your name, physical address, email address and phone numbers were released as part of this activity.

“As a party we take these matters seriously and have reported the matter to the relevant authorities.”

Party sources said the breach affects at least three major electorates, and the newly-formed state executive comprising the party’s most senior officials were briefed on the breach at an emergency meeting last night.

Concerns were raised more than a week ago. Police were notified on Tuesday.

In a statement, Liberal Party SA division state director Alex May said the party respects the privacy of members, “which is why we are disappointed there has recently been some unauthorised access to a number of membership lists”.

“The lists contained addresses and phone numbers of approximately 2000 party members,” she said.

“No financial details were accessed. Affected members have been informed directly and the expert advice received is that the accessing of these contact details is unlikely to create a risk of serious harm to individuals.

“As a party we take these matters seriously and have reported the matter to the relevant authorities, including police.”

In response to inquiries, an SA Police spokesman urged anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers.

“Eastern District Criminal Investigation Branch have recently commenced an investigation into deception offences which involves the alleged release of details of members of a political party,” he said.

“The breach was reported to police on 25 October.
