Why is Pauline Hanson doing a speech like she (or One Nation) won something? And she starts by talking about Victoria, you cannot make this up lol

Oh, that sounds like a train wreck. I'm gona have to watch that now.

She was also slowed down at the start, one of the anchors started laughing. Yet more evidence that the woke leftist ABC are corrupt and are pushing an agenda against One Nation!

There's a live watch party on YouTube here with a bunch of Australian politics nerds if you want analysis with your analysis.

Hoping for both One Nation and the Coalition to fall short of expectations, leading to a WA 2021 style result.

That would be wild, but Labor SA seem popular so not impossible.

I suspect there will be more seats taken by independents in this one even if a landslide occurs. Shame the Greens don't really seem to be a factor in SA, however.

Yeah, i've never really paid attention to SA closely enough to know why the Greens aren't much of a force there. But they're great on some of the other independents coming out of there Xenophon was always great.

South Australians will cast their ballots at 600 polling stations around the state from 8am to 6pm today.

A record number of South Australians have voted early.

A record 388 candidates are contesting House of Assembly seats, significantly more than the 240 candidates who contested the 2022 election.
