Difference is, Kouta has the shoppies boss onside - very close friends
Kouta has seen Abbott win, despite similar personality flaws, and that's given him the confidence he can do it as well

Weatherill’s Footbridge work walks out of SA.
In another snub to South Australian businesses, the Weatherill Labor Government has used an interstate contractor to undertake work on the Adelaide Oval footbridge. A Brisbane-based company has been given a $2 million paving contract for the Footbridge. This is despite South Australian businesses struggling under tough economic conditions and 27,000 full-time jobs lost in the State since the June 2013 Budget was delivered.
Other examples of government contracts that have been awarded to interstate companies include:
$600 million Housing SA maintenance contract (over eight years) awarded to two interstate companies;
$100 million plumbing contract for the new RAH awarded to a Victorian company;
Contract to develop the Master Plan for Adelaide’s Riverbank precinct awarded to a Victorian consortium;
Newsagent contract (supply to schools of stationery etc) awarded to an interstate firm;
School bus contract awarded to a Victorian company;
TAFE’s student management system contract awarded to London-based Sungard;
Stone for pavers used in the redevelopment of Rundle Mall imported from China;
The associated economic modeling for the Government’s Economic Statement awarded to a Victorian company;
Manufacturing and supply of number plates for SA vehicles worth $4.7 million awarded to a Queensland company; and
The $1.4 million SA brand contract awarded to Victorian graphic designer Ken Cato.
“Sadly for South Australians, the Weatherill Labor Government has form in awarding government contracts to interstate firms,” said State Liberal Leader Steven Marshall. “Every year, the Weatherill Labor Government awards $2.3 billion worth of work interstate.
“There have also been more than 34,000 net interstate migrants under Mr Weatherill and State Labor since 2002. “However, the Weatherill Labor Government’s solution to fixing South Australia’s devastating “brain drain” crisis is to send work interstate! “Maybe if the Weatherill Labor Government awarded more contracts to South Australian companies, that would encourage job growth in SA and help stem the flow of South Australians moving interstate for better employment opportunities.
“If elected to government in March 2014, I have already committed to reviewing the government procurement process.

Also, he hasn't committed to anything, confirming that is just a political stunt.If elected to government in March 2014, I have already committed to reviewing the government procurement process.
