Federal Election 2022: Live results, updates for SA
SA's two key marginal seats Boothby and Sturt could still alter the nation's future. Here's the state of play as it stands.
It ain't over 'til it's over - with key SA seats still in play amid a wash of Green and teal - but Labor has won the election and will form government 'in some form' after Scott Morrison conceded defeat and stood down as leader.
Liberal candidate for Boothby Dr Rachel Swift has insisted the contest remains hot and Labor's Louise Miller-Frost won't be declaring victory tonight, despite rising confidence ALP will reclaim the seat for the first time in 70 years. Liberal James Stevens is being pushed hard in the eastern Adelaide seat of Sturt, with the race too close to call this evening.
The sprawling electorate of Grey will stay in the hands of Liberal Rowan Ramsey alongside Barker (Liberal Tony Pasin). Centre Alliance independent Rebecca Sharkie will retain Mayo while Labor's Amanda Rishworth will continue to hold Kingston.
For Labor, Steve Georganas has retained Adelaide, Matt Burnell holds on to Spence and Tony Zappia has Makin.
We've wrapped up the latest on who's in and who's out in SA here.
The Liberals are now at risk of being without a federal seat in metropolitan Adelaide, with swings to Labor in battleground seats that helped push Anthony Albanese to the nation’s top job. Editor At Large Paul Starick has broken down just where it all went wrong as blue ribbons turn red.
There are still plenty of chips to fall. Send your news tips, photos and videos here.

Good night readers: That's a wrap for election night
Labor's Sturt candidate late to the party
Candidate for Sturt Sonja Baram arrived at the Labor Party in Brompton as the new Prime Minister made his victory speech.
While Ms Baram is happy and excited for her colleagues her hotly contested seat will still take a little while longer before it is offically called.
“It’s a great result for Labor and Anthony and the team,” she said.
“I’m thrilled with the work that we have done in Sturt and I have received a lot of support from the entire party, it’s been fantastic.
“We will see what the rest of the week brings for Sturt.
While Ms Baram was scheduled for an 8pm arrival at the Brompton gathering, she instead supported Senator Don Farrell.
“I was mostly relaxing with friends as well as Don, the Premier came. But I am looking forward to a good night's sleep.”

PM Albo: 'Reach for the stars'
Australia's next Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has promised to serve Australia after Labor won the election and Scott Morrison stood down as the Liberal leader after conceding defeat.
It follows huge surges to the teal independents and Greens that claimed the scalp of Treasurer Josh Frydenberg but Labor's result was far from a landslide with star candidate – former NSW Premier Kristina Keneally – somehow losing the safe seat of Fowler.
Addressing an excitable crowd, Mr Albanese promised to establish a First Nations voice to Parliament, enshrined in the constitution.
'The green wave is sweeping SA': Robert Simms
A growing green vote across the country, highest in SA, shows voters are increasingly demanding stronger action on climate change, party leaders said Saturday night.
Greens Senator for SA Sarah Hanson-Young said the swing to the Greens was highest in SA, which was likely to yield a second senate seat: “Two strong women standing up for their state".
“South Australians know the Greens will fight for what matters to them – saving the Murray, protecting our Bight and action on climate change," she said.
Co-leader of the SA Greens, MLC Robert Simms said: "This is a clear indication voters want action on climate and growing inequality".
"Following our strongest ever result at an SA state election, we are on track to achieve our highest ever result in a federal election here in SA," he said.
"Momentum is with our party at the moment. The green wave is sweeping SA.”

Burnell retains Spence and declares: 'It's time'
Signing off with the famous words of Gough Whitlam, re-elected member of Spence Matt Burnell proclaimed “It’s time”.
Mr Burnell managed to retain the seat comfortably over Liberal candidate Shawn Lock.
Mr Burnell first thanked his wife along with his campaign staff at the Labor party in Brompton.
“Thank you all for your support,” Mr Burnell said to the faithful supporters. “Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be standing up here for the seat of Spence.”
The seat was recaptured by the Labor party in 2007, after being in the hands of the Liberal Party for more than 30 years.

Speirs takes Swift action in Boothby
State Liberal leader David Speirs has earmarked sweeping change for the Liberal party in South Australia and called for similar action federally.
During an impassioned speech at Dr Rachel Swift's Liberal party function, the member for Black said it was time for his party to look for a "fresh start".
Taking the stage to say The Liberals would not be conceding Boothby on election night, Mr Speirs took a pot shot at Premier Peter Malinauskas.
"The Malinauskas wave has turned out to be quite a dribble," Mr Speirs said.
"The great white hope of Malinauskas that Labor would crash across a lot of seats and have a great result here in South Australia has not proven to be the case.
"People were saying that Boothby was completely gone, people were saying that Sturt was probably gone, people were saying Gray was probably gone as well.
"That hasn't been the case and in those outer suburbs we've seen considerably better results again."

Stevens: 'I think we are bringing home a victory here in Sturt'
Liberal Party’s James Stevens arrived at his election party at the Robin Hood Hotel, speaking to the small crowd just after 10pm.
“I think we are bringing home a victory here in Sturt,” he said.
“It is a tight contest and it’s too early to call a result.”
He said the party has some challenges moving forward: “I hope to be a part of the rebuilding what we need to do here, everyone in this room is going to be a part of that.”

Nigella Lawson dishes up on Aussie election
British food royalty Nigella Lawson has weighed in on the federal election result as Scott Morrison wraps up his concession speech.
Ms Lawson, who has spent the past few weeks wining and dining at some of Adelaide's most iconic establishments, rapidly went viral after tweeting about Australia's vote.
What a night to be in Australia!

Australians were quick to ask the kitchen queen what her recommendation was for a celebratory dish. But hold the democracy snags.

Rachel Swift won't concede Boothby
At the Liberal event in Boothby, held at the Morphett Arms Hotel at Glengowrie, Dr Rachel Swift stayed hidden away for much of the night but addressed supporters just before 10pm.
She said the Liberals had been continually written off in Boothby, but insisted the contest was not yet over.
“We are still in the game,” she said. “We’ve still got more than 20,000 postal votes to count and we are not conceding tonight.
“What I really want to say to you all tonight is this is a team sport and you have been the best possible team I could have imagined.”
Supporters also heard from Opposition Leader David Speirs, who remained positive while admitting "the trajectory is not how we would like it".

Analysis: How it all went so wrong for ScoMo
In the end, the voters remained determined. Nothing Scott Morrison did could sway them – and it all came down to one key problem, writes Ellen Whinnett.
Scott Morrison’s promise to change his ways failed to resonate with the electorate. One Liberal MP likened him to a bad boyfriend promising to do better.
Focus groups considered Anthony Albanese was the “best of a bad lot”, though voters had doubts about his ability to do the job.
The Coalition was unable to stop the six-week campaign turning into a referendum on Mr Morrison’s character, and his last-minute promise to show a more empathetic side failed to turn the tide.
“It’s like a bad boyfriend – don’t leave me, I can change,” an unimpressed Liberal commented after Mr Morrison’s pledge.
