much less stable

minority government
following the 2002 election, rann labor defeated the kerin liberal minority government, ending two terms (eight years) of brown/olsen/kerin liberal governments. labor formed their own minority government before winning in a landslide at the 2006 election. labor was elected to a third four-year term at the 2010 election, retaining majority government despite a swing − giving labor a record 12 years in government. rann successor jay weatherill would go on to form a minority government after the 2014 election, however later that year a majority government was formed resulting from a by-election outcome, giving state labor a record 16 years in government and will attempt 20 years from a fifth four-year term at the 2018 election. it is south australia's second longest-serving south australian government behind the playmander-assisted thomas playford iv. aside from playford, for the second time, a party had won four consecutive state elections in south australia, which occurred first for the second time when don dunstan led labor to four consecutive victories between 1970 and 1977. other recent hung parliament elections occurred when labor came to government in 2002, and immediately prior to that when the state liberal retained government in 1997 which saw the south australian division of the liberal party of australia, created in 1974, win re-election for the first time. labor went from minority to majority government when nat cook won the 2014 fisher by-election by five votes from a 7.3 percent two-party swing which was triggered by the death of such. despite this, the jay weatherill labor government kept brock and hamilton-smith in cabinet, giving the government a 26 to 21 parliamentary majority.
