The MP representing the lower Murray and Murray Bridge region in the electorate of Hammond is awaiting the counting between himself for the Liberal Party, the independent Airlie Keen and Labor's Belinda Owens showing a close race between he and Keen but Mr Pederick questions whether the ECSA should be running himself vs 2nd placed Owens. The Hammond MP responds to overlapping federal Liberal MP for Barker Tony Pasin's call for a review into the SA Liberals' party operations and election campaigning after the catastrophic state election loss for the now one-term government.
