It's a foregone conclusion isn't it?
SA is now firmly a Labor/Green state just like the apple isle.
I would be flabbergasted if Labor didn't win.

With the simian killing Holden you would think SA wouldn’t bring in another Lib govt here. The Labor govt is a bit old but has had a change of management with Rann & Co gone.

Stupid to have the same Fed & state Party in power at the same time.

Tassie will go but not SA. WA, Vic & Qld look like might change govt/reduce govt majority.

Yes


OPPOSITION Leader Steven Marshall has claimed the title of preferred premier for the first time as exclusive polling shows him poised for victory at next month’s state election. 
 
The Advertiser-Galaxy poll of 849 people, taken on Wednesday night, shows the Liberal Opposition leading the Labor State Government 55-45 on a two-party preferred statewide basis.  First-term MP Mr Marshall, right, holds a three-point lead over Premier Jay Weatherill as preferred premier.

The Opposition also holds a commanding 52-48 lead in metropolitan Adelaide — the home of a swag of key marginal seats that will decide the winner of the March 15 election.

The rise in Liberal support has come amid damaging leaks, including emergence of a $376 million Budget black hole , and public factional warfare as Premier Jay Weatherill blocked Senator Don Farrell’s  plan to parachute into the safe northern suburbs seat of Napier .

That result is a 5.3 per cent swing to Mr Marshall’s party in the city since the 2010 election.

If realised uniformly on polling day next month, this swing would result in 11 Labor seats tumbling to the Liberals.

However, sources on both sides of the political divide say it is unlikely the Liberals will secure such a thumping result on election day as local issues will affect swings in key seats.

The poll was taken after a horror month for Labor, as its image of stability was tarnished by a factional brawl over the failed attempt to move controversial senator and powerbroker Don Farrell into a safe seat, and revelations in The Advertiser of a $376 million blowout in the Budget

TASMANIA looks set to have a majority Liberal government on March 15, according to the first independent poll published since the state election was called. 
 
The EMRS poll published on Thursday puts Liberal support at 50 per cent to Labor's 23 and the Greens' 17 when undecided voters are excluded.

With the 23 per cent yet to make up their minds, Premier Lara Giddings' government polls just 16 per cent to the Liberals' 39 and Greens' 14.

Opposition leader Will Hodgman is preferred premier with 48 per cent, while Ms Giddings is polling just 21 and Greens leader Nick McKim 13.

The poll is the first since Ms Giddings announced her party's power-sharing arrangement with the Greens was over.

But it was taken before the premier, who is also treasurer, announced a $450 million budget blowout over the next four years.

It came as Ms Giddings and Mr Hodgman clashed in a feisty business lunch debate in Hobart.

The premier continued her tactic of linking federal government decisions to the election, slamming an admission by NBN boss Ziggy Switkowski that copper wire could be used in the state ahead of fibre.

"How backward thinking can you be when you know our future is a global future?" Ms Giddings said.

Mr Hodgman accused Ms Giddings of "grandstanding" on the issue, saying he had gone directly to communications minister Malcolm Turnbull.

"It's a federal project but I'll argue strongly our preferred position is fibre to the home," Mr Hodgman said.

"I don't resile from that."

Excluded from the debate, the Greens have described the major party debates as "boring".

But they were taking some solace from the polling.

"On this poll, we are basically level-pegging with Labor with just four weeks to go," Mr McKim said.

The Palmer United Party is polling five per cent despite founder Clive Palmer's recent claim his state leader Kevin Morgan would be premier.

The state government at least received some good news on Thursday with unemployment staying steady at 7.6 per cent.
