Steven Marshall on December 30 re: Rapid Antigen Tests:

“No state will be giving these away free of charge. This is completely against public health advice.”

This followed SA Labor’s call for free Rapid Antigen Tests on December 28.

Here is a transcript of an exchange between Vickie Chapman and the media outside her house this morning.

So when is Vickie Chapman's press conference happening?

@RosannaMangiare @StephenWadeMLC @AndreaLNicolas @marshall_steven @GertieSpurling7 South Australians yet to have a COVID jab are being urged to step up this weekend. Super walk-in events have been planned at clinics across the state with sausage sizzles to draw people in. https://t.co/nGSsdEnFFN @AndreaLNicolas #7NEWS

This is rare genius.

The Liberals decided it would be a really clever idea to ask @TKoutsantonisMP about Liberal Party divisions.

[SA Labor @alpsa]

Over the weekend, Steven Marshall’s government was falling apart.

What did he do?

He went to the Barossa on Friday and Saturday night to party and attend a lavish $390-per-head dinner.

[Peter Malinauskas @PMalinauskasMP]

It’s becoming increasingly clear that while Grant Stevens and Nicola Spurrier are running the state, Steven Marshall can’t even run his own party room.

@AdelaideMP @CityofAdelaide Really? It was the Liberal government that wanted to cut funding for the Free City Connector and slash the route by more than a third.

And how did you exactly fight for your community? You certainly didn’t write a letter or send an email!

[SA Labor @alpsa]

Steven Marshall’s statement yesterday is simply false.

Australia is ranked last among OECD advanced economies.

Last.

We need honesty from political leaders if we are to turn around the failing vaccine rollout.

[SA Labor @alpsa]

What were people told when they were invited to this "humble" Liberal Party fundraiser?

[SA Labor @alpsa]

SA is at the bottom of the pack for vaccinating aged care workers and residents.

Only 10% of aged care workers are vaccinated - worst in Australia.

Only 53% of aged care residents are vaccinated - worst in Australia.

Marshall just isn't taking the ambulance ramping crisis seriously.

Today he was asked a series of important questions about the horrific experiences of South Australians in their hour of need.

Instead of taking the matter seriously, he pulled out a book to try and make a joke.

.@NicolleFlint, please.

Remember GlobeLink?

You had your chance.

A government leaflet sent to hundreds of residents in Adelaide’s north-east has claimed Labor would demolish dozens of properties in a plan to expand the O-Bahn, an error that has already put some voters off-side. 7NEWS at 6pm | https://t.co/lfBob3zonL @AndreaLNicolas #7NEWS

This week, Steven Marshall and Vickie Chapman’s priority has been setting up political committees to try and score political points.

Imagine if they’d put as much effort into sitting down with our ambos and firies to discuss their government’s dangerous cuts?

Liberal source: “These are the sorts of things that if you’re a genuine Liberal – as opposed to a blow-in that Labor rejected – you’d be very concerned about."

You mean this guy?

Steven Marshall has refused to answer a series of questions about his government's cuts to funding for programs which support women.
