The polls have opened in South Australia's state election with Liberal Premier Steven Marshall bidding for a second term and opposition leader Peter Malinauskas seeking to return Labor to power.Close to one million people will vote on Saturday while about 300,000 have cast an early ballot or applied for a postal vote.

But that has allowed Mr Marshall to mount a sustained attack on Labor's big spending promises, warning of higher taxes and charges if the opposition wins.
