‘I’ve just had a gutful’: South Australian Opposition leader resigns

South Australian Opposition Leader David Speirs says he’s had enough and is walking away from the state Liberals top job. After just two years in the role, Mr Speirs says he wants to spend more time with his family, but not before delivering a blistering farewell. “To be honest, I’ve just had a gutful ... I just do not have the energy at this stage or, in fact, the want to continue in this role and take the party to 2026,” Mr Speirs said during a media conference. The Liberal Party will meet on Monday morning to pick a new leader. Deputy Leader John Gardner is the frontrunner to take the top job.
