One Nation Surges, Labor Wins SA Election

0:00From the Daily News Now Network, this is Sydney News Today. Labor won a landslide victory in the South Australia State election, with Peter Malanowskas securing a second term, just 90 minutes after polls, closed. But the standout story is one nation's massive surge, pulling in over 20% of the primary vote and topping the liberals in early counts. Meanwhile, one nation hammered the liberals in regional seats like Chaffee and Hammond, while labor-flip city strongholds, such as Colton and Unley. This double squeeze could leave the liberals with only four or five seats, once all votes are tallied. Voters showed real frustration, with one nation drawing support from liberal heartlands and even some labor-working class areas like Elizabeth and Karna. It's a wake-up call for both major parties, highlighting deep discontent with the establishment. One nation looks set to claim upper-house seats, including for figures like Cory Bernardi validating their populist appeal amid rising costs, and economic woes. The result boosts momentum heading into federal bi-elections and victorious contests
