@ProfJoannaHowe@PMalinauskasMP@TonyPasin How long ago was this interview? David Bevan hasn’t been on radio for years. Seems you are desperate to drag Premier into your campaign for more clicks.
@mikesmithson7 genuine question: have you abandoned any pretence of objectivity when it comes to Ashton Hurn? Your commentary appears overwhelmingly favourable, with little of the scrutiny or balance one would normally expect from a journalist.
Sexism just has no place in our political debate, full stop.
A billboard truck using sexist language has been driving around Melbourne as part of a secret and well-funded political campaign.
People are entitled to disagree with me. That’s democracy.
But I care that this attacks women.
And I care about who’s next.
The political debate in this country has become corrosive over the last few years.
So much so that behaviour which would once have been condemned is now just another part of life.
Media don’t call it out.
They report on this like it’s fair game, like it’s normal.
But nothing about this is normal.
If you don’t take a stand against this creeping culture, it has a tendency of taking over.
You only have to look at America to know that.
I cannot stand back and let Victoria become a place where this sort of language is fair game against any woman at work - or any woman in leadership.
If we don’t draw a line, the line will keep moving.
At the end of the day, I just want my kids to grow up knowing that women deserve the same respect as men.
I want girls to know that they should never need to aim lower just to feel safer.
And I want boys to know that they don’t have to put women ‘in their place’ to make their own way in the world.
Sexism hurts everyone.
If the media won’t call out it, I will.
We’re expanding OSHC across South Australia.
As a parent, and now a first time instructor, I understand why this investment is so important.
Thanks to Maria and the kids for having me!
We have the highest number of sworn police per capita of any state.
And our recruitment drive is gearing up even further with the launch of a new ad campaign to put even more officers on the beat.
I’ve just been told by the AFL, with over 270k - we have broken the Gather Round attendance record.
Once again, South Australia took centre stage.
To the fans who travelled from across the country to be here - thank you.
But most importantly, to every South Australian - thank you.
From the Uber & cab drivers, the baristas, the hotel operators, the chefs and everyone else - you’re the secret sauce to Gather Round.
This weekend wasn’t just about footy.
It was our chance to show the nation who we are - and the opportunities that are right in front of us.
A state that backs itself.
A state that rises when it matters.
A state that delivers on the big stage.
And when the national spotlight was on - everyone delivered.
There’s a momentum here you can feel.
And the rest of the country is starting to see it too.
And it’s only possible because of all of you.
So thank you.
Has there been a political party celebrate as hard as the SA Liberals are celebrating winning 5 out of 47 seats.
Most parties would be doing some serious soul-searching after a loss of that scale, not popping the champagne like they’ve just formed government.
As a plan to get kids off screens, the Labor Party promises to make Year 7 school camp free if they win this month’s state election. #9News@Gus_Macdonald_
Premier Peter Malinauskas has taken a ride at Woodhouse Adventure Park while making a fresh pledge to keep South Aussie kids away from screens. If re-elected next Saturday, Labor would make it mandatory for all reception to year 9 public students to complete 150 minutes of physical activity each week during school hours, including sport, dancing, PE, drama and performing arts.
This morning, the Deputy Premier and I went to Government House for the writs to be issued for the 21 March State Election.
This officially marks the start of the 28-day election campaign.
And we’re taking to the election a comprehensive plan to build upon the state’s considerable economic momentum to deliver a more prosperous state for all South Australians.
Just now the Prime Minister, Vice Admiral Mead and I just announced the Federal Government is building a $30bn nuclear submarine construction yard in Osbourne to get started on AUKUS. This is huge for South Australia and well paid secure jobs for the people of SA.
