Nah I like a like a polly on Twitter. Makes them more accessible.

And we're off.

New SA Premier Steven Marshall vows to scrap Tesla's plans for world's biggest virtual power plant targeting low income households, in favour of a $100 million subsidy for those homes already with solar.

Makes total sense.

Going to be a fun four years

Is that what they promised?

Is that the lies the electoral commission asked them to retract and they politely refused to?

Yeah, that one.

Got me on that one. I can’t see the connection
BTW, its what they promised in the first 100 days

“What to expect in Marshall’s first 100 days “

Like shooting ducks in a barrel with some of them
Koutsantonis spends more time on twitter than he sleeps

See the attached

I don't know why I stuttered there.

But I am serious. It's an incredibly effective engagement tool.

Just ask Josh Jenkins

Koutsantonis working 24/7 to get the job
Contacting all the main union officials

Everyone loves him though

Given both him and Malinauskas are shoppies if Malinauskas wants it he doesn't have a hope in hell.

If Farrell deserts Koutsiantonis his powerbase within the right would be decimated. You'd have open factional warfare for years.

I have a better chance of leading Labor than Kouts

[jo172]

In other news Bignell's lead in Mawson down to 90 votes with 81% calculated. Will likely just hold on but will be very very tight.

[am Bays]

Looks like Labor has done a 2010/2014 Libs to an extent.

Lifted their vote but it has come in their safe seats (Playford, West Torrens , Lee, Cheltenham, Kaurna, Reynell, Croyden, Port Adel, Elizabeth etc) final vote looks like being 52:48 Libs:ALP.

Reckon Biggles will hold on (just) but he should send a massive thank you card to Mr X, no SA best in that seat Gilfillan would be on a 20% winning margin (60:40)

[Jimmy_041]

In other news Bignell's lead in Mawson down to 90 votes with 81% calculated. Will likely just hold on but will be very very tight.

Still around 5,000 votes to count and Gilfillan is averaging 55.6% so could overtake him around 2,000 more votes if the average is maintained.
This will go down to the wire

and Sanderson in Adelaide leading by 437 at 4.30pm. Jay's girl wont win

[Jimmy_041]

I have a better chance of leading Labor than Kouts

I'm betting he gets it and they dump him for Malinauskas just before the election
Kouta can go full time feral (if its possible to get any more) for 3 1/2 years and then Malinauskas saves the day
The people of SA will be so happy to be rid of him Labor will get a boost
MW a dark horse .............

81% counted so far. Final counts in 2014 were 91 % (Mawson) and 92% (Finniss). No more than 3000 votes left to count I reckon.

On current projections Gilfillian would over take him but Biggles has the advantage of being the sitting member* so would've been able to get an above average number of postals out for his starting margin (-4.3%).

[jo172]

Re Mawson if you take Antony Green's word for it most of the remaining votes to count are declarations rather than postals and as such are unlikely to skew Liberal to the same extent as the postals.

Thought Mullighan was one of the future anointed ones? Certainly people out West thought he was in 2014.

Absolutely he is. Just less anointed than Malinauskas.

Member of the wrong union.

Read Hamilton-Smith’s comments about the deceit
‘Homes, shops and hotel planned for Repat site’ http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/sout ... f56c4a73ce

[morell]

What deceit? They saw some plans, didn't like them.

You want them to release and tacitly endorse plans they don't actually support?

I reckon they mean hanging on to the master plan until after the election with the full knowledge that anything happening at the repat site would not be popular.

Honestly though any government would do the same.
