Episode notes
Labor's Historic Win Versus One Nation's Vote Seat Gap
- Peter Malinauskas's Labor scored at least 32 seats delivering its biggest victory in South Australia history.
- One Nation polled ~21–22% but won far fewer seats due to preference flows, leaving seat counts still in flux.

- One Nation outperformed the Liberals in primary vote with about 21–22% versus the Liberals' 19%.
- Analysts expect preferences could still give One Nation between two and six seats, and Liberals possibly five to eight.
