[President Punxsutawney Phil]

I guess this is really just a case of SA's fairness provision finally working as intended?

Yep, after 3/4 the four Labor wins happening despite losing the two-party preferred the fairness provision has, finally, worked.

How much of the two-party vote have the Liberals got this time around?

Looks to be around 51.5, so a 1.5% swing to Labor

Ironic that Labor gains a favorable swing but loses seats, not to mention government.
But that's SA for you. Fairness provision, packed Liberal votes, Labor incumbents perpetually gaining votes between elections, sheer bad luck, rural independents. Everything seemed to be going against the SA Liberals till now. It was only time before Labor stopped defying gravity...

Steve Marshall's been sworn in, meanwhile most of the talk about the next Labor leader involves (god forbid) Tom Koutsantonis.

What's so bad about him?
