Description

Ashton Hurn, a public school-educated mother and daughter of a farmer, becomes South Australias Liberal Party leader, facing a tight 103-day countdown to the state election. She succeeds Vincent Tarzia, who resigned unexpectedly, marking the partys third leader change in less than eighteen months. Hurn, a sports enthusiast, consulted with fellow Barossa Valley native Kellie Sloane and her brother, former AFL captain Shannon Hurn, before taking the helm. Despite polls suggesting a challenging election, Hurn is determined to work hard and challenge current Premier Peter Malinauskas, who enjoys high popularity.
