Comment:
At the 2019 election, the Liberals polled 2.65 quotas, Labor polled 2.13 quotas, and the Greens polled 0.76 quotas. The Liberals
won three seats, Labor two, and the Greens one. Until late March 2022 this was the most likely outcome at this election. But the announced return of former
Senator (2008-17) Nick Xenophon has cast doubt on this. Although Xenophon bombed badly in the 2018 South Australian state election, he may well
retain enough support to win a Senate quota, probably at the expense of the third Liberal candidate. Senator Stirling Griff, who was elected on Xenophon's ticket
in 2016, will now be second on the Xenophon ticket, but it's unlikely that Xenophon can win two quotas.
Senator Rex Patrick (who inherited Xenophon's place
in 2017 and is now an independent) will struggle to be re-elected. All other sitting Senators are standing again. The third Liberal candidate is Kerrynne
Liddle, a businesswoman and company director who if elected will by South Australia's first Indigenous federal member.
The Nationals are also contesting the Senate in SA. Their lead candidate nominated as Lisa Blandford but is called Lisa Sherry at the Nationals' website.
The lead Greens candidate is Dr Barbara Pocock, Emeritus Professor of Economics at the University of South Australia
