Intro

The Labor Malinauskas Government claimed a landslide victory in the South Australian election over the weekend, cementing what PK calls the Premier's "political rockstar" status in the state.

But One Nation also managed to convert it's high polling numbers into success at the ballot box, peeling voters off the Liberal party. And it's not just the Liberals rattled by the minor parties success, with Labor also put on notice and the SA Premier warning his team against hubris.

It comes as federal parliament returns for another sitting week, with fuel supply again set to dominate the agenda.

Patricia Karvelas and Jacob Greber break it all down on Politics Now.
