Peter Malinauskas set to become state’s 47th premier as Liberal government, led by Steven Marshall, appears to have been deserted by voters after just one term
Labor looks set to form majority government inThe ABC election analyst Antony Green said that he did not believe the Liberal party could retain power based on swings towards Labor, which in metropolitan areas were as high as 7.8%.
The ABC indicated the key marginal seats of Elder and Newland were likely to fall to Labor, along with the safer seat of Davenport.Labor holds 19 seats in the 47 seat House of Assembly while the Liberal party holds 22. Labor needs to win four seats to form majority government. The Labor MP Tom Koutsantonis said there had been “dramatic” swing towards Labor and criticised the Liberal campaign for failing to address the priority of health.
The Liberal party was also struggling in key seats being fought against conservative independents who had defected from the Liberal party during the past term of government, with independents ahead in the seats of Kavel, Narrunga and Mt Gambier.
