SA election 2022: Liberal minister Corey Wingard set to lose seat ... (ABC News)

The ABC is projecting that outgoing SA Transport Minister Corey Wingard is set to lose his seat of Gibson to Labor candidate Sarah Andrews.

"It looks like the last seat could well go to One Nation, who are the highest polling of the smaller parties and that will deliver a change to the upper house." But one of the biggest surprises could see One Nation collecting one of the two remaining seats, with the other likely to go to Labor. Mr Wingard suffered a catastrophic swing of more than 13 per cent against him in the election.

South Australia election: Labor win should have Morrison ... (The Guardian)

Scott Morrison dismissed state and federal comparisons, saying 'Anthony Albanese is not Peter Malinauskas'

“This election was being fought on state issues. “What I know is that Anthony Albanese is not Peter Malinauskas, he is not any of the other premiers, he is not Annastacia Palaszczuk … there is a big difference between Anthony Albanese as the federal Labor leader and what we see in the performance of some of his state colleagues,” Morrison said. In announcing his decision to step down as Liberal leader on Sunday, Marshall said he would continue to “serve the people” in his electorate of Dunstan and that he was proud of his government’s achievements, highlighting the abolishment of payroll tax for small businesses and the lowering of household costs. Labor ran a campaign heavily focused on state issues like health and problems around ambulance ramping at hospitals. Albanese did not make public remarks on Sunday, but tweeted his congratulations to Malinauskas on Saturday night, saying “South Australians have backed your vision for a stronger, fairer future”. The outgoing premier, Steven Marshall, announced on Sunday he would step down as Liberal leader after the landslide loss to Labor, saying he “takes full responsibility for the result” and accepts “the will of the people”.

Labor will pick up a string of seats, enough to govern in its own right. “Mr Marshall said it had been an honour and privilege to serve the people of South Australia.” “They are two different elections and they are going to be fought on two different grounds,” she said. Labor leader Peter Malinauskas will be the state’s new premier. “The messaging around the economy and jobs has not been as tangible as it should have been out in the suburbs,” she told Sky News. “It has been an honour and privilege to serve the people of South Australia,” he told supporters.
