Barton Deakin Brief: South Australian Election Results 19 March 2018 The South Australian Election was held on Saturday the 17 March 2018. The election has resulted in a change of government, with the Liberal Party forming majority government after 16 years of Labor. This Barton Deakin Brief summarises preliminary election result in the House of Assembly and the Legislative Council, provides an overview of the incoming Cabinet arrangements, and reviews the Liberal Party’s major policy commitments from the election. House of Assembly Results The Liberal Party have won 24 seats in the 47-seat House of Assembly. Labor is projected to take 18 seats, with 3 seats going to independent candidates. With 66% of the vote counted to date, the seats of Adelaide and Mawson remain in doubt and will be determined once pre-poll and postal ballots are counted. There was a record number of over 200,000 pre-poll and postal votes. The seats of Mount Gambier, Frome and Florey were won by Independents: Troy Bell, Geoff Brock and Frances Bedford respectively. Nick Xenophon’s SA Best Party – including Mr Xenophon – failed to win a lower house seat. The final result will be confirmed by the House of Assembly Returning Officers in the week commencing 26 March 2018. Below is the current state of the House of Assembly with the two seats mentioned above still under contention.

Legislative Council Results 11 seats in the Legislative Council were up for election in the 2018 poll. With 66% of the vote for the Legislative Council counted, the result is likely to be four Liberal, four Labor, two SA Best, and one Greens. Formation of Cabinet Premier the Hon. Steven Marshall MP, Deputy Premier and Attorney General the Hon. Vickie Chapman MP and Treasurer the Hon. Rob Lucas MLC were officially sworn in today by the Governor the Honourable Hieu Van Le AC. The Premier will announce the full Cabinet by the end of this week. The Liberal’s Top Policy Commitments of the Election The Marshall Government campaigned on the promise of ‘More Jobs. Lower Costs. Better Services.’, in particular the need to reduce cost of living pressures on South Australian families. The following are priority policies for the Marshall Government: 1. Deregulation of Shop Trading Hours: Measures will be taken to remove the current restrictions on trading hours that prevent retailers opening on Sunday mornings and Public holidays. The legislation is aimed at creating more jobs and growth in the economy. 2. Energy and Environment: The key policies the Liberals plan to implement to tackle rising energy prices for household and businesses are a $200 million interconnection fund to improve connectivity with the National Electricity Market, and a $100 million household battery program.

Changes to healthcare: The Marshall Government plans to half the Emergency Services Levy (ESL) and reopen the Repat hospital to target the cost of living and to attempt to clear a backlog of elective surgeries. 4. Changes to Tax: All businesses with annual payrolls of less than $1.5 million with be exempt from payroll tax. The policy is planned to be introduced in the first budget so that business can benefit from the measure from 1 January 2019. The Liberal Party also pledged to introduce legislation to cap council rates to bring them more in line with the CPI index and inflation. 5. Infrastructure and Defence: The Marshall Government lists 10 priority infrastructure projects to be undertaken over the next 20 years. These include the completion of the North-South road corridor and the GlobeLink upgrade to export infrastructure. The Marshall Government will continue to support the growth of the defence industry in South Australia.

    Sixteen Years of Labor Government in South Australia, 2002-2018

    AUSTRALASIAN PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW Parliament in the Periphery: Sixteen Years of Labor Government in South Australia, 2002-2018* Mark Dean Research Associate, Australian Industrial Transformation Institute, Flinders University of South Australia * Double-blind reviewed article. Abstract This article examines the sixteen years of Labor government in South Australia from 2002 to 2018. With reference to industry policy and strategy in the context of deindustrialisation, it analyses the impact and implications of policy choices made under Premiers Mike Rann and Jay Weatherill in attempts to progress South Australia beyond its growing status as a ‘rustbelt state’. Previous research has shown how, despite half of Labor’s term in office as a minority government and Rann’s apparent disregard for the Parliament, the executive’s ‘third way’ brand of policymaking was a powerful force in shaping the State’s development. This article approaches this contention from a new perspective to suggest that although this approach produced innovative policy outcomes, these were a vehicle for neo-liberal transformations to the State’s institutions. In strategically avoiding much legislative scrutiny, the Rann and Weatherill governments’ brand of policymaking was arguably unable to produce a coordinated response to South Australia’s deindustrialisation in a State historically shaped by more interventionist government and a clear role for the legislature. In undermining public services and hollowing out policy, the Rann and Wethearill governments reflected the path dependency of responses to earlier neo-liberal reforms, further entrenching neo-liberal responses to social and economic crisis and aiding a smooth transition to Liberal government in 2018. INTRODUCTION For sixteen years, from March 2002 to March 2018, South Australia was governed by the Labor Party.
