Premier Steven Marshall and Opposition Leader Peter Malinauskas have put their politics and policies to the test this afternoon as they went head-to-head in their first state election campaign debate.

With less than a week-and-a-half to go until the March 19 poll, Mr Marshall was keen to present himself as the right person to continue leading the state as it comes out of the Covid-19 pandemic.

And Mr Malinauskas sought to show he is the man with a plan for South Australia in his bid to take over the top job.
