Labor Party faces a major blow, set to lose power in its last state of South Australia after the Liberals claim victory in Tasmania. Nine News.

The South Australian Liberal Party is pinning last-minute hopes on a record number of pre-poll and postal votes to scrape into government, but Labor believes it can still win the support of independents to retain power in the state.

Voters will have to wait days for Saturday's election to be decided, but the most likely prospect is a minority government relying on two independents.

The government and the opposition in Canberra are watching the wash-up with keen interest. If Labor holds on to government in the state after the Liberal Party swept to power in Tasmania at the weekend, South Australia would have denied the conservative parties a clean sweep across the federal and state landscapes.

The number of self-identified conservatives continued to outpace the number of moderates and liberals in the U.S. population in 2014, though the gap between conservatives and liberals was the smallest in Gallups trends since 1992.

The percentage of adults who identified themselves as politically conservative was 38 percent unchanged from 2013. The percentage of moderates, 34 percent, was also unchanged, while 24 percent considered themselves liberal, the third straight year that number increased by a percentage point.

In 1992, meanwhile, about four in 10 Americans identified themselves as moderate, with conservatives at 36 percent and liberals at 17 percent.

Results were based on aggregated telephone interviews from 15 Gallup polls conducted in 2014, with a random sample of 16,479 U.S. adults; the margin of error is plus or minus 1 percentage point.

Bill Carter

Carter said one of the key issues in the district is the co-existence of its two main industries the traditional fishery and the aquaculture industry.

Its well known that the aquaculture industry has been a huge economic boost to the region in the past eight years, he said. We really need to make sure the industry is managed properly, particularly from a bio-security perspective.

We need to protect the long-term stability, viability and sustainability of the industry which has to be managed in a constructive manner.
