In Adelaide, it's March 20th, and here's what is going on. As the Stavavashurya state election wraps up on March 20th, 2026, the campaign trail delivered plenty of quirky moments. Attorney General Kaya Maher hit his goal of tasting sausage rolls at 50 bakeries across the state over six weeks. Liberal leader Ashton Herndt celebrated with her own blueberry pie doughnut flavor from a spot in her Schubert electorate. Meanwhile, independent candidate Frank Pangalo fought Vandals' stole his campaign signs, even setting up cameras and a $500 reward. It turned out Mitchem Council just removed them from public land where they weren't allowed. Vandalism hit others too, like graffiti on a liberal candidate's car, and Nazi symbols on an independent's posters. Minor parties added flair, with the legalese cannabis group pushing Hemcrete Homes as a housing fix and opening a dispensary. One stand-out stunt was a fake bull, placed on the roof of the oak bank hotel to boost independent Matt Schulte's run in Kovell.

Another independent Craig Pickering pledged to cut his own upper house term in half to four years for more voter check-ins, though that would need. Constitutional changes. These odd events kept things lively amid serious polling, showing how campaigns can mix fun with frustration right up to voting day. Quick thanks to today's sponsor. See the description for more.
