I guess Weatherill just wanted it more than Marshal and understood how to get it better than Steven did.
Brock had told Steven he wanted the weekend to spend with family and would make a decision mid next week.
I don't think he seriously considered going with the Libs anyway.
Well, Jay is family now I had to laugh: they asked Brock what pizza he ordered and he couldn't remember............. FMD, I haven't had pizza in a month but I still remember what it was
Jesus I think he had more important things on his mind than remembering what topping he had on his pizza

I don't know why they asked him that though, irrelevant really.
Mind you, he didn't remember speaking to Steven Marshall on Saturday, who says he spoke to Mr Brock twice.
Yes, the boundaries are redrawn after every election.
Interestingly, Light electorate was redrawn and took a huge swathe of the sitting member's key booths. In fact, it even saw his home a couple of kilometres outside of the electorate. However, it hasn't appeared to hurt him as he's been re-elected and it seems with an increased majority, despite the Libs spending a lot of money and energy in this electorate. This used to be a blue-riband Liberal electorate.
Looking at the percentage vote is deceptive, as Chaffey, Schubert and several others are seeing Lib candidates polling over 70 per cent of the count. You won't see that in any of the Adelaide suburban seats.
You're my only friend, and you don't even like me.
Jamie Briggs was on 891 this morning Kouta refused to attend: said he didn't want to negotiate in the press If what Briggs says is true, there is no way he would want to go toe to toe
pretty good article imo. especially the comments about how steven marshall seemed like the fresh faced leader libs required a year or so ago, but somehow let all of that enthusiasm fall by the wayside.
i think a lot of that was conflict between trying to be your own person, and following the path to victory that the federal libs laid down, which just didnt match marshall's personality.

I was only saying the times up for the Hatfields and McCoys last night Don't agree with necking Ridgway - non-aligned and a team player Also time to tell Pyne and Bernardi to permanently move to Canberra and STFU about local matters I dont mind Briggs - he seems to steer clear of this crap

especially when its clear that the libs havent done well in cultivating the moderate liberal vote. their country vote is as strong as ever, but thats not where the battle is won.
honestly i think the libs would have won easily if they better differentiated themselves from the federal liberal and presented themselves as more moderate
I suspect the SA Libs would have done better had they kept the Federal party members, including Pyne and Abbott, out of the campaign. Including them made it easy for the state ALP to link the SA Liberal team with the Federal policies some swinging voters are unhappy about. (I'm not entirely behind the Feds either and I'm a Liberal Party member.)

announcing the new UAVs without the premier was the worst of the lot imo.
Well, FMD, Jay lied. He's not going to stand up to Tony Abbott for you. It was just part of the usual campaign nonsense that you all fell for. As is the procurement savings, balanced budget and probably half the infrastructure projects he promised (anyone remember the electrification and Darlington Interchange promises from last election?)
Weatherill promises to work with PM Weatherill this morning promised a “mature” working relationship with Canberra, saying his election stoush with Tony Abbott was part of the usual campaign nonsense. The Prime Minister visited South Australia a number of times during the election to support Liberal leader Steven Marshall and became involved in a war of words with the premier. Mr Abbott faced particular criticism for not inviting the Labor leader to one campaign announcement, that the state would be the base for a squadron of high-tech surveillance aircraft. But Mr Weatherill has downplayed the stand-off. “There’s always some nonsense before elections as parties line up with their fraternal parties,” he told ABC radio. “Now, we’re over all that, we can get back to some serious discussions.”

would be pretty silly to bite the hand that feeds.
