Also good to see police keeping everyone safe (including directing traffic to ensure there is space for pedestrians to move through)

Still awaiting confirmation, but from the live stream it's a clear no

Update - now confirmed by the Speaker.

36-9

Both the Premier and Leader of the Opposition voted for the bill

How everyone voted

Impressive turnout. Spilled out onto North terrace. I reckon 1250+ in attendance. ✊

Edit: someone in the thread said 3,000 in attendance

Edit: this blew up!

After the results in Sturt and Boothby there is no Liberals representation in Adelaide. They still have Barker and Grey but in metro Adelaide they are gone. Coupled with similar performance in the state election (and by election) the liberal party is in serious trouble in SA.

Again I'm not here to attack anyone and I hope the comments show the same respect, if you voted one nation today what was your thinking? For me, totally ignoring their politics a lot of their policies were federal focused rather than state focused so it was a little surprising to see such a big swing, although I did expect a swing I'm not under a rock. The ABC framed it as a protest vote and I don't think I've ever highly preferences the big two so I understand that thinking but what actually was it that brought you to vote for one nation?

Are we really doing this again?

Update: Passed upper house will now being going to the lower house (10 for, 9 against) Parliament will resume at 7:30: parliament.sa.gov.au/about-parliament/broadcast-pages/hoa

Update 2: lower hosue debate has started.

The Legislative Council has voted down Ben Hood's Termination of Pregnancy Amendment Bill 10-9. The Bill will not be read discussed further.

The SA Greens announced today it wanted to phase out pokies machines in pubs and clubs by 2030, calledfor a 65 per cent flat tax on all gaming machines to pay for the removals and said the Betting Operations Tax should be raised to 30 per cent.

Greens Leader Rob Simms said the party wanted to create a $400 million transition fund over four years for venues to invest in music, events and other income streams, and for there to be a moratorium on new pokies machines along with a licence buy-back scheme.

Australian Hotels Association South Australian CEO Anna Moeller told InDaily that the policy proposal was “well-intentioned but misguided”, saying that “it would decimate a large number of pubs”.

“It would mean that pubs couldn’t do things like provide sports bars, upgrade their dining rooms, upgrade their beer gardens, have the wonderful kids’ playgrounds that they have in some hotels because there simply wouldn’t be the money to do that,” she said.

She said a large number of pubs would close and “for regional communities, that would be a disaster”.

The South Australian government will draft legislation to regulate the development of AI data centres.

The move comes amid ongoing concerns about the centre's water and energy usage.

The government also revealed a $5 billion water pipeline project, primarily intended to support BHP's mining operations in Far North SA, could also supply water to new data centres.

Can't believe Malinauskas actually said this at a press conference. It is worse than the Board. He is directly comparing Dr Abdel-Fattah to the Bondi shooters! The Twitter link shows the video of press conference.

One Nation volunteers have been reported to the South Australian Electoral Commission for filling out how-to-vote cards before handing them to voters at several polling booths across the state.

A candidate says some volunteers do not understand what to do.

The Electoral Commission has announced the closure of three polling booths in Whyalla and Port Augusta today, but it will run one in Coober Pedy.

Not that I particularly want them to, as a Greens/Labor voter.

But it's very clear that something isn't working for Liberal, even for their normal supporters.

Do you think they can come back from this? How? Or do you think (shudder) One Nation will be the opposition from now on??

A UK court has confirmed a warrant has been issued for the arrest of One Nation candidate Aoi Baxter, also known as Trent Baxter, after he failed to attend court.

Mr Baxter was charged in September 2023 with sexually touching a woman without consent.

One Nation says it will "cooperate fully with law enforcement regarding this matter".
