Sa review

South Australia proved to be a record state in the senate for a long time the reps saw a couple of seats have sigifincant results Hindmarsh fell to the libs the 5th safest labor seat to fall in the country and the safest mainland seat to lose an incumbent labor member but despite expectations of large swings labor held on in their other seats with makin getting it’s first opposition member  and the other seats wheren’t as significant historically while Adelaide was a rare all-female contest the rest had no significant history the lib seats showed nothing big except southcott snapped his. Drought of swings while Pyne had a bigger than average swing. In sturt. The nats bad result in barker was more to do with bad state history that the nats have to work on but while I won’t go into details it will be a hard battle for labor. The senate was crazy extreme conservative city Bernardi was no suprised elected first while Xenophon beat Wong for 2nd with Wong winning 3rd labor lost their other seat with don Farrell becoming the first senator from 2nd for a major party in the senate. Birongham got lucky in preference swaps against xenephon’s running mate while Hansen-young got lucky the other seat was won by family first’s bob day (an ex lib) took the last seat
