Peter Malinauskas is on track for a landslide victory in South Australia’s state election, with Labor easily securing a second term and an increased majority in Saturday’s poll, amid a surge in support for One Nation.

Labor’s primary vote was above 37% just after 9.30pm, local time (10pm AEDT), on Saturday, suggesting it would easily form government. The Liberal vote collapsed to about 19%, with the opposition likely to win only a handful of seats.
