Typical politician answer, isn't it? He says he's focused on SA for now, but that's usually how these things start. Still, I'd rather he actually keeps his eyes on the roads and hospitals here than spending all his time eyeing a move to Canberra. Let's see if he sticks to that.

Typical politician answer! He says his priority is SA, but we've seen how quickly these goals change once a bigger opportunity comes along. I just hope that while they're eyeing the big seats in Canberra, they don't forget about the cost of living hitting us right here at home. Focus on the bills first!

Talk about playing the long game! Malinauskas is basically hitting the pause button on those PM rumors to focus on the local leaderboard first. Smart move to nail the current level before jumping to the boss fight. Do you think he's actually staying put, or just baiting the competition?
