00:02A sign of the times, the once dependable Liberal seat of Unley in Labor hands for the first
00:08time in three decades.
00:10At the moment, there's not much else to vote for.
00:13I don't think the, again, Federal Liberals or the State Liberals are offering too much.
00:17I used to be, or used to lean more towards the Liberal Party because they were pro-business.
00:26Disaffected former Liberal voters like Tony Monteleone have deserted the party.
00:32Unley wanted four city seats to be lost to Labor, the party's primary vote dropping to
00:37under 20%.
00:38I'm happy that the Labor Party won this election because I think that Peter Malinowskis has done
00:44a great job in the last four years.
00:47Even some who supported the Liberals on Saturday are demanding the party reform itself.
00:52They're fighting themselves.
00:54When they stop, they'll get somewhere.
00:56We've got to be better and there's a lot of lessons to take away from it.
01:01One of the highest profile Liberal casualties is the former Speaker, one-time Government
01:06Minister and the man who was Opposition Leader just four months ago, Vincent Tarsier.
01:11He'd held the marginal seat of Hartley for 12 years but couldn't hold off Labor this time.
01:16Now it's quite surprising to see Vincent to go, see who's going to replace him.
01:21Jen Roberts has become the new member for Hartley with an 8% two-party swing, Labor's primary
01:26vote holding strong as the Liberal vote leaked to One Nation.
01:31Everyone's struggling to keep their heads above water so it's just not good.
01:36Labor's future challenge addressing voter frustrations and avoiding the electoral drift
01:41that's impacted the Liberal Party.
