Liberals have announced Scott Kennedy, a CFS volunteer and data analytics professional, as their candidate here to succeed John Gardner.
Considering it’s around a year until the state election, the Liberals do seem quite nervous about their prospects.
Labor has announced 2022 candidate Matthew Marozzi as their candidate for Morialta in 2026.
Stick a fork in this seat, Labor gain. I cannot see the Liberals hanging on whatsoever.
Labor announced their candidate back in Feb 2025. This indicates their confidence and eagerness to win this.
@Votante – thanks for the clarification. I only found out about it today, so I presumed it was recent.
@James I live next door to Morialta (in Hartley, Vincent Tarzia’s seat no less). I’d say both of them are as good as gone. Morialta’s on a 2% margin and Hartley on 3% and Tarzia’s been completely incompetent apart from the usual annual obligatory calendar and bulletin every now and then.
Liberals are going to get wiped in eastern Adelaide, particularly if the Sturt results reflect on the state election next year.
@Tommo9 – absolutely agreed. I feel that both Unley and Morialta are dust for the Liberals with retiring MPs and Labor candidates already announced. I agree with you on the sentiment that Tarzia is an underperforming MP, even despite beating Nick Xenophon in 2018 and hanging on in 2022. He is toast as well.
Wouldn’t even be remotely shocked if Labor snagged Colton, Morphett, maybe even Bragg.
Agree Tommo and James, unless the Liberal Party recover in the 9 or so months between now and the next election – it is looking like it will be a repeat of previous major landslide/wipeout elections such as WA 2021, NT 2016 or Queensland 2012 that saw once ultra safe seats fall for the first time in history.
