Real Change SA: Pallaras' Push for Justice Reforms

0:00In Adelaide, it's March 17th, and here's what is going on. Steven Polaris, a former director of public prosecutions in South Australia, has launched real change SA as a push for legal reforms. This campaign grew out of his true crime talks as started in regional areas back in 2022. Now, it's fielding 14 candidates across the state for the upcoming election, more than triple what they had last time. The group draws people from all walks of life, including professionals and community leaders who want to bring real-world know-how to policy-making. Polaris' own son is running for the upper house, and two brothers are teaming up for seats in the lower house, giving it a strong family and grass roots fill. With over 50 years in the courts as a barrister, prosecutor, and judge, Polaris knows the justice system inside out. He earned King's council status in 2000 and served as DPP from 2005 to 2012. His experience shapes the campaign's call for better oversight and changes to build public trust.

He believes lawmakers need diverse backgrounds to make smart rules that actually work for everyday people. Even after serious injuries less than six months ago, Polaris keeps hitting the road in cities and regions alike. The campaign stresses transparency in government and lasting reforms to strengthen South Australia for the future. The Daily News Now is presented by our sponsor.
