South Australian Young Liberal Movement

Vote Labor like your life depends on it 🤔

South Australians deserve better.

Our thoughts are with the family of the 54 year old man who died last week waiting 10 hours for an ambulance to arrive.

It’s hard to comprehend, and like many South Australians I have feelings of both despair and anger in equal measure.

Fixing this, fixing ramping is exactly what Labor relentlessly campaigned on at the election and promised they would deliver.

There are serious reports of pressure on our clinicians to clear the ramp and frankly we must not let political pressure jeopardise the lives of South Australians.

👩🏼‍⚕️👨🏻‍⚕️We support our expert clinicians making decisions about how patients are clinically prioritised in our hospitals - with the patient, not political promises and pressure at the centre.

Peter Malinauskas promised to fix ramping but as pointed out by the Advertiser - it’s nearly triple what it was in the former government’s last month. 🚑

It’s the worst it’s ever been and we need the government to start delivering for SA.

Yesterday the SAYLM hosted an

👩‍💻 Industry Networking Event 🧑‍💻

Members were offered the unique opportunity to speak with a variety of industry professionals. It was terrific to see such strong diversity in attendance, with members of all ages and professional backgrounds attending. We look forward to hosting another event of a similar nature, soon.

📢 Our friends at the Adelaide University Liberal Club are hosting a policy event next Thursday (24/8). If you’re keen on policy debate or just want to have a chat, please come along. See below for details!

Introducing your new SAYLM executive for the next 12 months, led by Evelyn Cacas as President.

We want to extend a big thank you to our former President Aric Pierce and the outgoing executive for all of their hard work.

We were out in Gibson today for our first catch-up since becoming elected. We had some terrific conversations about our plans for the upcoming few months, and are very excited to hit the ground running! 💪

We even checked-in at Brighton Central to have a chat with State Liberal Leader David Speirs MP and the Hon Heidi Girolamo MLC!

This is actually outrageous.

South Australians aren’t buying this spin, and we will keep holding Peter Malinauskas to account for his clear promise to fix ramping.

Congratulations to Ben Hood, preselected by the State Council of the SA Liberal Party to fill the casual vacanacy left by the Hon Stephen Wade following his retirement from the Legislative Council of South Australia.

Ben has been an unwavering supporter of the Young Liberals and we can’t wait to see him in State Parliament advocating for issues important to young people.

A huge thanks to the Hon Stephen Wade (an honorary life member of the SA Young Liberal Movement) for his contributions to our state over almost 20 years.

With two outstanding candidates for the position, we’re stoked to see renewal in the Party and excited about the future of the SA Liberal team.

Mali and his team splashing cash on overseas travel and five-star hotels. Meanwhile, South Australia has had the worst nine months of ramping on record alongside chronic overcrowding at our hospitals. 💁🏻‍♂️

Too few participants in our democracy appear to have a set of identifiable beliefs.

Ask yourself a simple question today, what do I believe?

A firm foundation is important because storms will come. In a home, without a firm foundation, your home would wash away when rains fall and storms blow. The same can be said about your beliefs.

Great leaders must have specific beliefs and core values they adhere too.

On leadership, people want to be led, not managed. Instead, leaders must manage their actions and possess the ability to lead by example.

Congratulations Novak Djokovic Australian Open winner 2023! 🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸

Great news from an otherwise insufferably woke event.

A true fighter and one who has proven he will never collapse under pressure.

...and that's a wrap for FedCon 2023!

An amazing event that was capped off with the appointment of SAYLM members James Porter as Federal Young Liberal Vice-President and
Ann Pham as Federal Young Liberal Women's Director! We can't wait to see the positive change they will bring.

Congratulations also to Dimitry Chugg-Palmer elected as Federal Young Liberal President 👏

Reckon there’s something in this…

As ramping continues to reach record levels, the Labor Government has started slugging unsuspecting patients of millions of dollars 😩

Patients are being back-billed almost one year after they were told their trip to hospital was free, due to paramedics taking industrial action.

South Australians deserve to be treated better. Don’t trust Labor with your health.

Congrats Sophia!

Mr Dutton said Labor was treating super savings as its own by demanding funds get into the home building business, all while removing transparency provisions around how funds use money.

“Your super is your money. This government thinks it’s their money, something we have seen in this budget,” he said.

“They want your super to invest in someone else’s home, not your own.

“At the same time, they want super funds to be less transparent with what they do with your money.”

Rest In Peace.

Queen Elizabeth II has died, Buckingham Palace announces

We need a credible path forward on emissions reduction and it’s time our country had an honest and informed discussion.

Squad goals 💙

It was a pleasure to be in the Chamber today for the swearing in of our 2022 SA Senate team.

Special congratulations to Kerrynne Liddle, a good friend and brand new Senator for South Australia!

Great to catch up for coffee this week with the new President of Liberal Party in Barker.
As a young, driven, regional woman Sophie is a real asset to the Liberal Party and I look forward to working with her over her term as President.

"It is of little use for us to pay lip-loyalty to the mighty men of the past unless we sincerely endeavor to apply to the problems of the present precisely the qualities which in other crises enabled the men of that day to meet those crises." - TR August 1910

The Man in the Arena

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

Theodore Roosevelt, 23 April 1910

“Shunting the national flag shows that Mr Bandt is less interested in fostering a cohesive Australia than he is creating headlines and stoking racial divisions that need not exist.

It does nothing to better the life of any Indigenous person.

The whole idea of reconciliation is – would you believe it – to reconcile our differences. Settle our disputes. Make Indigenous and all other Australians one.

It is a noble aim to which we should all strive. And it is achieved by bringing everybody together – not by denigrating the flag that represents this country.”

- Caleb Bond for The Advertiser, 21 June 2022

Greens’ flag stunt is virtue-signalling race-baiting at its worst If ever you needed proof that virtue-signalling race-baiters are more interested in dividing than healing, then Adam Bandt has delivered.

We love Teddy Roosevelt in a lot of ways

Amazing!

Many congratulations to Kerrynne Liddle - SA Liberal for Senate who has been elected a new Liberal Party of Australia Senator for South Australia.

A former business owner & leader in the private & public sector, Kerrynne brings experience in tourism, energy, media, arts, social housing & indigenous affairs.

Kerrynne’s knowledge & experience will be a great asset to our Coalition Senate team, while her advocacy, policy skills & commitment to working across the community will ensure strong representation for SA.

The election of Kerrynne means that from 1 July this year six of the twelve SA Senate seats will be held by the Liberal Party for the first time since 30 June 2008.

Congrats also to Senator Andrew McLachlan CSC on your election to a full term. I know your contribution will continue to be principled, thoughtful & diligent.

Many thanks to all of our volunteers, candidates, supporters & campaign professionals who have made this possible, especially Tania Stock, whose addition to our ticket was of great value.

Remember when SA Labor told us it was all about the ‘right priorities’?

Nek minute…

Hey South Australian Labor, I designed a new logo for the Clipsal 500 you promised to bring back last December.

PS Is your “climate emergency” still on?

Congratulations to Peter Dutton and Sussan Ley, elected as Leader and Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party.

Speaking at his first press conference as Leader yesterday, Peter Dutton gave an insight into the direction he seeks to take the party under his leadership,

“To win the next election ... our policies are going to be targeted at those people who understand the Liberal Party is the best when it comes to economic management so that we can pay for our climate change investment and pay for education and policing, and our roads and infrastructure.”

“All I want to do is to make sure that we don’t forget about those in the suburbs, and I do think they are the forgotten people. I do think those people in small business and micro business feel like the system is against them. And I want to be a voice for them.”

We wish Peter, Sussan and the Liberal Team well for the road ahead particularly as they hold Labor to account leading Her Majesty’s Opposition.

I want to sincerely thank my Liberal Party colleagues for their support of Sussan Ley MP and I today.

Under my leadership, the Liberal Party will be true to our values that have seen us win successive elections over the course of the last quarter of a century.

Make no mistake, and Australians understand this; the next three years under Labor is going to be tough. Already they are breaking promises and foreshadowing policy shifts. They weren’t ready to govern and we are already seeing their inexperience on display.

Sussan and I lead a team which has the experience to make the right calls on supporting government policies that are in our national interest; and standing against those that are not in our national interest.

I owe everything of course to my family, to my friends and community; and of course the Liberal Party and my colleagues for this incredible honour.
