Reported at theconversation.com: Labor gained the South Australian state seat of Black in a recent byelection, securing a 60.6% to 39.4% victory over the Liberals, reflecting a 13.3% swing since the 2022 state election.

Primary votes showed Labor at 46.5%, up 8.4%, while the Liberals dropped to 32.3%, down 17.8%.

The byelection was prompted by the resignation of former Liberal leader David Speirs, marking the second time Labor has gained a seat from the opposition in a byelection this year.
