Clare Scriven re-elected as Legislative Council result finalised

The Electoral Commission of South Australia formally declared the final election result of the Legislative Council at a ceremony in Adelaide today, confirming the re-election of Labor MLC Clare Scriven.

The return of Ms Scriven as a Member of the Legislative Council means she can continue to deliver for the state in her role as the Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development and the Minister for Forest Industries.

The Malinauskas Labor Government is firmly committed to delivering for all South Australians.

As a Limestone Coast local with a special affinity for the state’s rural, remote and regional communities, Clare Scriven is an important voice for regional South Australia and an important member of Peter Malinauskas’ diverse and hard-working team.

The final election result means Labor now holds 10 seats in the Legislative Council, a position not experienced by any government in almost a quarter of a century.

Labor has already recorded a record result in the House of Assembly, holding 34 out of 47 seats.
