Future South Australian premier Sir Richard Layton Butler was born on 31 March 1885

A slightly late #OnThisDay. On 31 March 1885 Sir Richard Layton Butler was born in Gawler, South Australia. He served as the 31st Premier of South Australia from 1927 to 1930 as leader of the Liberal Federation, and from 1933 to 1938 as leader of the Liberal and Country League. #OTD #history #sapol

Excellent commentary, analysis, and humour. Outstanding infographic tells the narrative of preferential voting perfectly. Antony Green is an absolute gift. #auspol #AusVotes #sapol #SAvotes

South Australia can't offer free public transport during this #fuelcrisis because a lot of routes are already overloaded. They would simply be unable to meet demand if they made it free.

I expect there to be new Australian laws (state and federal) that will ban the terms #genocide or #ethniccleansing being used to describe Israel's actions in #Palestine ( #Gaza or the #WestBank) or Southern #Lebanon bc it's anti-Semitic. (It's not.) Tell me I'm wrong.😔 #auspol #nswpol #SApol #qldpol

FARE congratulates the Malinauskas Government on its success over the weekend. But now is the time for us to work together to progress these vital reforms as soon as parliament resumes.

Last place douchbag meme - Depicting MSM overenthusiastic coverage of PHON election results

The MSM has a new darling. The fawning over PHON's result is ridiculous when you look at the actual seat count. A "surge" in primary votes doesn't mean much when you're still sitting on the sidelines.
