Josephus,
When I saw that rubbish dumping act on the tele I thought what an interesting quiz it would have made to guess what sex some of them were.

Paul1405 said "The South Australian election yesterday, seen big swings to Labor and the Greens. The incompetent 'Marshmallow' Marshell along with his useless Liberal government got rolled after only one term in office. This has not happened since 'Hard Boiled Newman's LNP got a'holed from Queensland."

Answer- Marshall perhaps was the premier that got the SA Liberal Party over the line- similar to Blair for the British Labour Party. I don't think he was necessarily bad- he just isn't connected. Newman went down because of his mate the Transport Minister perhaps- sadly they were both engineers- a skill badly needed in government in my view. Sadly many capable people see politics as a waste of time- paraphrasing Plato "if the right people don't engage in politics the wrong people get power". On the other hand in Atlas Shrugged Ayn Rand promotes the idea of retreat from the world- maybe there is an alternative reason for her beliefs- but the view is attractive- and there is value in self sufficiency. As Ayn Rand says you shouldn't contribute to a system that acts to destroy you. Stiglitz says similar.

If the Liberal Party does better research on the SA public and don't rely on what the apparently corrupt ABC, Q&A, Insight says then they will do better- get out and talk to the people of SA- incognito- this is real grass roots politics.

SA has a history of good leaders and isn't subject to the sort of politics of the eastern states

CM,

The little I seen and read of Marshall, he appeared personally okay, but the extent of corruption within his government and his terrible timing with opening up for Covid, health was a big concern as well. The fact Labor put up Fabio, the most beautiful man in the Cosmos, and poor old MM looked like a three toed sloth didn't help his chances.

Pauliar,

What corruption?

I guess that you are just making it up again. Also what about the rampant corruption in Victoria and Queensland? You are a disgrace.

Three SA LIBERAL Ministers, and the LIBERAL President of the Legislative Council resigned after wrongly pocketing taxpayer money with dodgy expense claims.

HOW CORRUPT DO YOU WANT THEM TO BE?

Paul1405,
Most definitely not as warped as you !
