I think an interesting question is, do people have enough anger to vote for Marshall?

The bookies will not allow you to put enough on to make it worthwhile arbing but given there's not a hope in hell SA Best wins enough seats to govern in its own right putting money down on both the ALP and Libs will lock in some cash.

judging by this article the minister definitely could have done more.
not good enough imo. will be interesting to see what effect it has on the election
That Vlahos maintained Weatherill's confidence after she failed to read the Chief Psychiatrist's report and did not arrange a meeting but "bumped into him at Bunnings Mile End" really shows you how slimy she was/is and how weak he was in dealing with her.
His hands were obviously tied by the factions but that no one did anything about her much earlier is both abhorrent, and astonishingly politically stupid.

Marshall needs a policy around this area. And really promote it. Get positive.
Im not sure the Oakden debacle has put a big enough dent into Labor....unfortunately in most other states they'd be voted out with a landslide...

I am still getting my head around the state politics over here.... Labour running the show, despite cancelling a major contract to build a tunnel that would have joined the Monash freeway to the Tulla, and avoid the whole Collingwood/Richmond/Fitzroy area which is a debacle..... at a cost (legal) of almost the same as building the bloody thing! Just stupid. The Greens have strong foothold over here in some of the inner burbs. Daughter was approached at Uni yesterday to sign up to the ALP.... she politely declined.

It's almost too bad to be true, but that's what happens when a Liberal coalition makes a promise and a Labor premier is in place after the election.
The initial contract was for $5.3bn ( $5.3bn!!! ) for the East West Link and when they cancelled it, it cost them $1.2bn to do so ( $1.2bn!!! the cost of the nRAH ) and the whole project was between $15-17bn ( $15-17bn!!! ).

No chance, too busy gassing up on chartreuse with @Psyber at Hamilton-Smith's manor.

This fact is the interesting part of the election, for mine.
Marshall may not wish to deal with Xenophon, but it would seem there are some Liberals who may, in their hunger to form a long-awaited government.
I was at a debate last night where Xenophon would not rule out working with either party. He said that if Mr Marshall steps aside in this fashion, he would be happy to take calls from Dan Van Holst Pellekaan or Vickie Chapman.
He was debating Stephan Knoll, Lib for Schubert (and a rising star) who flat-out said he did not agree with accepting Xenophon's support.
If your scenario eventuates, it will be interesting to see what impact this has on the Libs and the election.
