Premier Jay Weatherill said Ms Redmond's announcement was "the culmination of the most treacherous and deceitful undermining of a leader we have seen in this state".
"There has been a relentless campaign to undermine Isobel Redmond - which she has bravely tried to withstand," he said.
"Isobel Redmond has been forced to resign because of the treachery of her own Party.
"The Liberal Party in South Australia is indeed a sad tale."
Wow, makes things interesting. Izzy gone and no Big Al as speculated. It must be MHS for mine as he is the only one capable in my opinion. Problem for the Libs is that he is unlikely to resolve current divisions within the party. Looks like Labour got a late Christmas present.

Getting a bit flustered Jimmy. Understandable given your team is in tatters.

Agreed, SA Labour are an easy target for any opposition with it's sh1t together. The Libs should have Labour by the throat at the moment. I find it very difficult to understand why there is such infighting when they could seemingly claim government with ease if they were united. Surely they owe it to the party faithful to stop the internal turmoil, and if not, the party faithful should **** them off and get people into office who will act in the best interests of the party.

Given the past 10 years, it would seem neither will the Libs, Skypilot. I look forward to seeing what Marshall can do if he gets the gig. There will be a sense of unpredictability about him, I suspect. If Downer doesn't run...what have his incomplete 'denials' achieved? He's as much at fault in this scramble as anyone.
Who would have thought Port Pirie would be such a political hot spot over the past two days?
You're my only friend, and you don't even like me.

I've heard from a pretty good source Labor is terrified of Downer taking over the Liberal leadership.
I must admit I laugh when I hear that Downer is the experienced wise head that will bring stability to the Liberals when his recent self indulgence in the 'phoney' leadership war has at least partly caused Redmond's demise and fuelled the instability.
