Great to host the @AdelaideGiants after another outstanding season, claiming the 25/26 Claxton Shield and now three championships in the past four seasons!

Wishing the team all the very best for the upcoming season, which gets underway next week. Bring on another big year! ⚾️

Peter Malinauskas has launched another stinging attack on Adelaide City Council, this time on its handling of major events and imposing new limits. @KomarekMichaela

[Peter Malinauskas @PMalinauskasMP]

Last night, Adelaide City Council voted for red tape over a vibrant CBD.

Under rules endorsed without debate, events at Village Green would be capped at just six calendar days a year, with no event running longer than three consecutive days.

While 40–50,000 people enjoy events at Adelaide Oval dozens of times a year, the massive space next door would sit dormant.

Six days a year is no events strategy. A single three-day festival would use half the annual allowance.

We want a bright, vibrant city that attracts events – not turns them away.

Today I held an important meeting regarding the national aged care situation and the growing pressure it is placing on our hospitals.

The South Australian Government has opened up 700 new beds in our public hospital system since 2022.

But last month, 502 of those beds were occupied by patients who were medically ready to leave hospital but were waiting for an aged care placement.

By next winter, that number is forecast to reach nearly 700.

This is a significant challenge for our health system, with flow-on impacts for ambulance response times, ramping and access to care for other patients.

While we continue to invest in expanding our hospital capacity, aged care is a Federal Government responsibility.

And while we support the Federal Government’s initiatives to deliver new aged care places, the number of beds being delivered is not keeping pace with growing demand.

We need to see greater progress in delivering aged care places so older South Australians can access the care they need, while freeing up beds for all South Australians who need them.

This is an issue that requires urgent attention.

“Light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance".

That’s the central theme of Diwali.

And tonight, we’re reminded of the new beginnings as we celebrate Diwali, which encourages us to walk the path of righteousness, and seek light in the darkness.

Premier Peter Malinauskas has sounded the alarm over South Australia's failing hospital system during crisis talks, blaming the federal aged care crisis. Damning new data warns that 700 aged care patients could be stuck in hospital beds by next winter without urgent action.

[Peter Malinauskas @PMalinauskasMP]

Minister for Health and Wellbeing @BBoyerMP and I are holding aged care crisis talks this morning with unions, industry groups and peak advocacy bodies, demanding urgent action from the Federal Government.

FACT CHECK: Adelaide City Council's own documents says the Park Safe car uses AI to identify parking breaches.

The technology being used is from SensenAI and they call it "AI-powered violation detection"

It appears Councillor Patrick Maher is wrong again!

[7NEWS Adelaide @7NewsAdelaide]

There is good news for South Australian motorists with the state government moving to ban councils from issuing ticketless parking fines.

South Australia is cracking down on ticketless, AI-assisted parking fines after data revealed 1 in 4 of all challenged expiations in the city were being withdrawn.

[Peter Malinauskas @PMalinauskasMP]

A pleasure to speak at the Australian @FinancialReview Infrastructure Summit this morning.

South Australia has enormous opportunities to help power Australia’s future - from advanced technology to resources, defence and infrastructure.

[SA Labor @alpsa]

Adelaide city councillors are out in force upset the Malinauskas Government is putting a stop to their AI parking car.

Completely out of touch.

[Matthew Pantelis🎙 @MatthewPantelis]

Such a good call, this so-called “Park Safe” car is the biggest reason to not visit the city.
@PMalinauskasMP, “The ACC has a record of poor judgement, this is another example & we’re going to fix it, there’s a few things we have to fix with the ACC & we’ll add it to the list.”

[Peter Malinauskas @PMalinauskasMP]

We’re putting an end to ticketless parking fines issued by council camera cars.

And making it mandatory for parking inspectors to issue a physical ticket at the time of the offence.

[Peter Malinauskas @PMalinauskasMP]

We’re introducing reforms to change how councils use these camera cars.

The reforms will put an end to ticketless parking fines and make it mandatory for council inspectors to issue a physical ticket at the time of the offence.

When fines arrive in the mail weeks after being issued through AI-assisted technology, motorists lose the chance to understand the offence and gather evidence to challenge it.

The rate of challenged fines being withdrawn shows something isn’t right with the current system.

Councils can still enforce parking rules, but they must do so in a way that is transparent, accountable and fair.

Technology has a role to play, but not at the expense of basic fairness for South Australian motorists.

[Peter Malinauskas @PMalinauskasMP]

Making it easier to get from South Road to the city.

The upgraded James Congdon Drive and Sir Donald Bradman Drive intersection also improves safety for pedestrians and cyclists.

It’s part of our wider network upgrades to deliver a non-stop South Road.

BREAKING NEWS: Yet another court victory for the South Australian Government. Joshua Hogan’s Federal Court challenge against Adelaide’s MotoGP has been discontinued and will no longer proceed.

[Peter Malinauskas @PMalinauskasMP]

Adelaide is building up and out to give South Australians more choice about where and how they live.

If that's in a bigger family home, we need to grow out. If that's in the heart of the city, we need to grow up.

That's why our $500 million Apartment Fast-Track Fund is now open for applications, with an expanded scope to unlock more projects beyond the CBD – including in North Adelaide and the Port Road precinct.

The fund will help get stalled developments moving and shovels in the ground sooner, helping to increase housing supply across Adelaide.

O'Connell Street is key to giving our city more life and vibrancy. Eighty Eight O'Connell has transformed the street, and The Piccadilly redevelopment has the potential to do the same.

The proposal includes 16 storeys of new housing, alongside the restoration and preservation of the cinema's iconic Art Deco heritage.

It's about creating more housing choices while protecting the character of our city.

And giving more people the opportunity to live in South Australia's most vibrant precincts.

A great way to kick off the week, answering some thoughtful questions from the students at Marryatville Primary School.

Thanks for having me at your wonderful school.
