SA Best, the party formed by stunt-loving politician Nick Xenophon, has closed its chapter in South Australian political history with its final member Connie Bonaros losing her seat in last month's state election.

The Liberal Party will have just one more seat than One Nation in South Australia’s lower house, leaving opposition leader Ashton Hurn little margin for error. 

The Electoral Commission of South Australia has apologised to staff who have not been fully paid almost a fortnight after the state election, saying a payroll processing delay had caused the problem.

Sixteen years before Jason Virgo won the SA seat of MacKillop for One Nation in the state's south-east, he twice ran for parliament as an Australian Sex Party candidate.

The seat of Narungga was so close it required a recount, and has now been won by One Nation candidate Chantelle Thomas by a margin of 58 votes over the Liberals.

A One Nation candidate in the South Australian election was accused of domestic abuse, bullying and harassment, while another made racist, antisemitic and homophobic social media posts, raising fresh questions about the party's vetting processes as it surges in popularity.

As authorities commit to a review of problems faced by South Australian voters during this month's election, a former Liberal MP says he was concerned to received an extra ballot paper in the post.

A former immigration detention system worker on Christmas Island has won the seat of MacKillop.

Liberal frontbencher Stephen Patterson loses his bid to be re-elected in the beachside seat of Morphett in the South Australian state election.

Last week's South Australian election has left the Liberals in the grip of what one analyst described as an "existential crisis". As the Liberals seek to learn the lessons of the past, they should bear in mind the example of their once mighty namesakes, who ruled Britain for decades before their party turned to dust.
