00:00A trip to the regions with a promise to fix a problem.
00:08The maternity ward here does need a bit of an upgrade.
00:11The Liberals committing $7 million to expand what they say are cramped and outdated maternity
00:17facilities at Murray Bridge Hospital.
00:19Midwives say in one case a new mother had to share a bathroom with a prison inmate.
00:24She wasn't aware of who she was sharing the bathroom with but that was a very concerning thing for me as well just from a security perspective.
00:32Sometimes because of the limitations of the facilities we actually have to send people to Adelaide or other hospitals.
00:38The Premier says he will make his own announcements in Murray Bridge tomorrow.
00:42We've made that publicly known that we're going there and that's presumably why the Liberal Party are there today.
00:47Murray Bridge is within the regional electorate of Hammond which has been held by Liberal MP Adrian Pedrick since 2006.
00:54But the seat is on Labor's radar and has been targeted by a strong independent campaign.
01:00The Liberals hope their hospital pledge will help protect what was once a safe seat for the party.
01:05Labor meanwhile says the future of disability employment provider Bedford is also safe.
01:11The organisation's sale to new owners, the Disability Trust finalised today, six months after it nearly collapsed.
01:19The keys to Bedford for their custodianship and their control.
01:24The Premier says the government's financial lifeline saved more than a thousand jobs.
01:29When you see the joy and the relief amongst all the people that work here,
01:34that this chapter of administration has ended and a new beginning has started, you know it's all worth it.
01:40An election campaign with plenty of sizzle to come.
