Croweaters go to the polls: South Australia State Election (Final Results)

[DL]

Is the upcoming federal election having any impact on this election?
Or are state elections and federal elections viewed differently?

I'm no expert on Australian politics but i have noticed that when Labour is in power for a longtime federally eventually almost all the state governments go Liberal and vice-versa when the Liberals are in power for a longtime federally. I think SA and NSW are the only states that have Coalition gov'ts right now and SA may be the next shoe to drop...

If, as seems likely, Labor wins the SA election that would leave only Tasmania and New South Wales under Coalition control - and while Tasmania reelected its government just last year, NSW has an election next year and it sounds like the Coalition gov't there has turned into a bit of a cluster. Probably the best hope for the coalition in NSW is that Labor wins the federal election this May and then becomes very unpopular a year from now...but as the saying goes "hope is not a strategy"

Final election eve poll by Newspoll has Labor leading the Coalition 54-46.

One thing i love about Australian politics is that with the time change when I wake up in the morning in Canada on a Saturday that is election day in Oz - with the time change the votes are all in - so I get to find out who won as soon as I wake up! its like Xmas morning!

Why are South Australians nicknamed “crow eaters “??
