David Speirs has stepped down as leader of South Australia’s Liberal opposition party. Speirs made the announcement on Thursday after months of mounting pressure. Speirs was elected as Liberal party leader following the 2022 election, during which Labor won and ousted the former Liberal Government led by Steven Marshall “This has not been an easy decision, however I believe it is in my best interests and that of my family,” Speirs said in a statement.
” Speirs said he would continue his role as the MP for Black, but wanted to give the party’s new leader enough time to prepare for the 2026 election. “I look forward to playing my part in supporting the next leader of the Liberal Party in offering a fresh and strong alternative government to the people of South Australia,” he said. The Scottish-born politician has been a member of parliament since 2014.
