The South Australian Political Landscape

[bennymacca]

You wouldn't have snuck up on him as good as you think...

He would have smelled you coming

[Gozu]

A South Australian Liberal candidate who suggested his would-be constituents were smelly and work-shy has issued a formal apology.

Anthony Antoniadis, the candidate for the Adelaide seat of Ramsay in the upcoming state election, made the derogatory comments in a series of Facebook posts, the Adelaide Advertiser reports.

Anthony also runs a News agency at Ingle Farm Shopping Centre
Earlier this week , I approached his agency

Here was a young man who looked more like a generational trendy , a night clubber , than a Polly
I have shopped in his agency previously , and have had very good service from Anthony and staff
The young man greets me whenever I walk past ,when we catch each others attention
The agency is intricate , it doubles up as coffee and pastry goods eatery
A rather unusual business set up

Anyhow times have changed since Anthony's on line tirade against some peoples of 5108
I had made up my mind on the matter
I approached the agency
The first time since AA's infamous face book posts

I had made up my mind and prejudged what to say to AA
There were no other customers in the agency
I snuck up behind him
I drew his attention
I pointed my finger directly at him
He was will and truly on the back foot with my motion
I stared him and with a semi raised tone said :
" I've got one thing to say to you."
" Have a Happy Easter if we don't catch up."

His reaction was priceless

Fair enough, Mal. Speaking to another shop owner near Parabanks she said he's a stuck up prick and she said that he or his family used to also own the newsagency on John St at Salisbury (since shut down) and whilst I had never seen him in there before a young-ish woman maybe 30's customer service skills there left a lot to be desired.

Does anyone have any inside mail on which way the independents might go?

I'm tipping Brock, Main North rd/Hwy One towards 'Pirie and Fisher Flaggie Hill rd towards Happy Valley.

Bob Such as gone off the radar all week, despite both sides desperately wanting to talk to him.

The other bloke might be leaning towards Libs, remember he took over from them when Rob Kerin was a MP.

[Roxy the Rat Girl]

Well done am bays, but is that the congested and confusing 3 lane Flagstaff Hill Rd or the post election 6 lane super highway?

[am Bays]

FIGJAM, Don't say I didn't predict this.....

On 21/01/2014:

I'll make the prediction now for March - hung parliament.

Which side will form Govt I've no idea. 23-22 major parties with Such and Brock (memebr for Frome) holding the balance of power.

Ignore my post from January 31 though......

[Roxy the Rat Girl]

Impressive. So which way will they side?

[Gozu]

Even though they only need one both are said to be leaning towards Labor.

[Roxy the Rat Girl]

bet the Libs wish they hadn't slandered Bob Such as much during the election campaign. That little bit of nastiness might come back to bite them in the backside!

you know what they say, throw enough shit at the wall and some of it will stick

[Bully]

so do we have a winner yet?

[Jimmy_041]

I always said Rann would never stay out his term as Premier, even though he promised he would, and would end up in Italy

Geoff Brock has announced he is supporting labor.

Looks like another 4 years for them now

[dedja]

The Libs have again clutched defeat from the jaws of victory.

Marshall's leadership under serious threat you'd expect now.

Watch the Hatfields and McCoys go hammer and tongs now, it will be on for young and old.

One things for certain though, even the Libs won't stuff up the next election and Labor will be removed in a landslide.

Weatherill now walks on water, Don Farrell now set for political obvilion.

[redden whites]

Let the blood letting begin.
Will the libs elected post election leader talk to the elected deputy leader or refuse to like last time when Isobel refused to speak to MHS ?
Condolences to the Murdochs .

[blueandwhite]

The libs have lost an election that was there for them to win.

Marshall has stated that he intends to stay on as Liberal leader..

Somebody call him an ambulance because the noise of spears being sharpened is deafening.....

Did South Australians learn nothing from the train wreck that was federal politics from 2010 to 2013


Expect Brock to get hammered by his constituents at the next election.....

[Roxy the Rat Girl]

Brock said he was consulting with the Local Governments from his electorate, so one could only assume they have endorsed his support for Labor.

Next Liberal Leader will be Vicki Chapman

Maybe not, by the time the next election comes around Tony Abbott would have suitably pissed off almost everyone in Australia and no-one will want to vote Liberal regardless of whether it's a State or Federal Election.
