The wash up from #SouthAustralia & #SAVotes.

The take away - #OneNation is a single issue party (anti-immigration). Their representatives will not be able to articulate broader policy positions because they don't have any. They will get found out & repudiated.

Did the #OneNation voters in Australia learn nothing from the #MAGA idiots in the USA who now regret they voted for Trump?! Srsly. 🙄 #auspol #SAvotes

Looks like a bit of trolling here! #savotes

Tom is replying to a 7 News tweet. https://x.com/7NewsAdelaide/status/2037758081577398779 7NEWS Adelaide @7NewsAdelaide The SA Liberals have headed to the Adelaide Hills to thank voters after deputy leader Josh Teague officially retained the seat of Heysen by just a few hundred votes. A week after the election, the bruised party says it has secured its place as the state’s official opposition. Image 4:06 PM · Mar 28, 2026 https://x.com/TKoutsantonisMP/status/2037809306423451858 Tom Koutsantonis MP @TKoutsantonisMP Not sure where this concept of “official opposition” has originated. There is no statutory number in the SA Parliament for “official opposition” status. The remaining much larger cohort of cross bench MP in the House is much larger than the Lib MP group. Also One Nation received more votes. 7:29 PM · Mar 28, 2026

Pauline Hanson’s One Nation likely to win second South Australian lower house seat ABC projects rightwing populist party will pick up the electorate of Hammond from the Liberals

One Nation has just #OneNotion: White Australia. To the extent it has any announced policies, they can be traced back to that.

It gets votes because the mainstream parties can't address the crises besetting the working class in Australia. #SAvotes #racism

Uhh no, because in a moment of sheer brilliance the Libs preferenced One Rinehart second on their HTV cards. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

#savotes @antonygreenelec.bsky.social has reported that ECSA will tomorrow throw Kavel as Labor vs IND (which IND will win) and Hammond as Labor vs ON (ON likely, I think) after testing preference flows from minor candidates.

As if the SA election wasn't exciting enough we now have Narungga going to declaration votes with One Nation with a very small lead and MacKillop could be heading the same way. #savotes

Actually the Greens vote is the best they've ever had in SA. Maybe what we need to understand is why no-one in the media is talking about it. #SAVotes #Auspol

Why is One Nation winning? Because One Nation is funded by Gina Rinehart, Australia's richest miner, polluter, land owner, and industrial farmer. She's capable of flooding the information zone with shit, and one look at facebook lets you know how she's doing it.

Many pundits gave Ashton Hurn praise for her poise& dignity (or some palaver) throughout the #SAvotes campaign but all I see is an idiot with no political judgement whatsoever who gave preferences to PHON ahead of Labor, thus giving PHON seats and oxygen, supposedly bc ‘Labor is the real enemy’ 🤡

Liberal party preferences handed seats to One Nation in South Australian election, analysts say Pauline Hanson’s party will have at least two seats in the upper house and at least one and likely more in the lower house

If only this could have been predicted...

Note re Narungga: count is being realigned to Liberal vs ON but the booths realigned so far are strong booths for Liberals, which is why they're showing ahead. In fact they're not getting required pref rate even in those and should fall behind when all are realigned. #savotes

Surface detail Another way to look at the South Australian election result

Tim Dunlop (@timdunlop.bsky.social) has a good piece about the SA election and One Nation and he clearly reads similar stuff to me (and he also kindly links to my own thoughts).

In response here's some thoughts.

Something weird with Ngadjuri count - ECSA website again displaying 2PP pairing when ON will make the final two. Possibly just mislabeled? #savotes
