At a fresh food market in Adelaide’s northern suburbs Peter Dutton was up at sparrow’s to begin his final day of campaigning before the federal election The opposition leader has to squeeze every waking hour to overturn a deficit in the polls but he has little chance of swinging a victory in the seat of Makin held by Labor’s Tony Zappia on a 10.8 per cent margin Modelling by pollster YouGov published on Thursday showed the coalition was on track for defeat on Saturday with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in with a strong chance of winning an increased majority But that would be a bad outcome for Australia “This election is a referendum of the performance of the Albanese government over the last three years and it’s been a bad one,” he told reporters at a fruit and vegetable stall Dutton sampled mango and apple juice from Ceravolo Orchards and chatted to business owner Ralph Ceravolo about the rising cost of electricity “I always love coming to the markets because it’s where the bush and it’s where our rural hard-working families meet the market,” Dutton said “It’s a reward for their effort and it’s a celebration of great hard work right across our society.” The market tour was the opposition leader’s second and final stop of a brief visit to the South Australian capital after a supporter rally in the seat of Sturt on Thursday night dailyDutton arrived to a rock star reception at the sprawling Arkaba Hotel but the biggest cheer of the night was reserved for comeback candidate Nicolle Flint challenging Labor’s Louise Miller-Frost in the electorate of Boothby Flint held the seaside seat until she bowed out of politics in 2022 after enduring misogynistic online abuse and debilitating endometriosis After a “miracle” health breakthrough helped her overcome the condition the 46-year-old was only convinced to return to the fold because Dutton had taken over as party leader it is unclear whether it will be under Dutton he faces a serious battle to hang onto his own seat of Dickson with Labor’s Ali France whittling the margin down to 1.7 per cent over the last two elections ostensibly to launch a Salvation Army Red Shield Appeal charity drive but the stop two days out from polling day raised a few eyebrows The prime minister was also in Dickson on Friday morning – a clear indicator of Labor’s ambition to win the seat citing the 2019 federal election when the coalition under Scott Morrison defeated Bill Shorten’s Labor opposition because if you look at the seat-by-seat analysis there’s no doubt in my mind that we can win this election,” he said A new SA podcast is here to help you feel a little more confident – and a lot less alone – about how you parent SponsoredWhat’s happening in SA: May editionForget autumn hibernation – May’s here with drag queens Autumn in Adelaide has never looked so good SponsoredKiller camels and trampoline sex scandals: It’s History Festival timeDan and Tom from podcast AdeLOL reveal the hilarious side of South Australia’s history your teachers conveniently skipped See why history’s better when it’s weird at this year’s History Festival SponsoredWorld-first AI breakthrough helps SA hospitalsSouth Australia’s latest medical game-changer isn’t a new pill – it’s an AI system built by two young Adelaide doctors that’s helping free up beds in our hospitals Brazilian police say they have prevented a bomb attack planned for Lady Gaga’s historic concert that drew more than two million people to Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro.

(SA Police) Link copiedShareShare articleA Pooraka property, in Adelaide's north-east, is being searched by police in connection to the 2012 stabbing death of a man in the Adelaide Hills. Jayson Doelz, 27, was found dead at Kersbrook in the Adelaide Hills on January 11, 2012. Detective Superintendent Des Bray said the property in Royal Avenue had been identified as the location where Mr Doelz was badly beaten by a group of people before his murder. The home is about 34 kilometres from where Mr Doelz's body was found. Police believe Mr Doelz was "forcibly abducted" and identified the vehicle used as a black 'FG' Ford Falcon ZR6 sedan with horizontal stripes along the side and a number plate starting with S. "There were four people present and involved in this beating and at least three offenders took Mr Doelz to Kersbrook where he tried to escape and was killed. Police say a black FG Ford Falcon XR6 may be linked to the murder. (Supplied: SA Police) "Several men, aged in their late teens to early 20s, were seen to be beating someone on the ground near a black Ford." Superintendent Bray said the investigation had been reviewed as part of the force's cold case strategy. "That has led to this major breakthrough," he said. "We still have a lot of work to do, but police now have a much better understanding of the circumstances and who was involved." Police said the current occupants of the Royal Avenue home were not connected to the murder. Police searched the Pooraka home this morning. (ABC News: Claire Campbell) Sarah Homes Pavilion 140 on display at Pooraka my parents always mention how affordable it is to build there’s still a part of me that wants my first home to be a one-off and appeal to my love for mid-century architecture – incorporating large windows raked ceilings and a reserved street appeal it’s a lot to ask – especially given I’ll need a large budget to bring that dream to reality visiting Sarah Homes’ Pavilion 140 design made me realise it might not be such a far-fetched dream two-bathroom design offers an unusual yet striking layout the home effortlessly separates the living and sleeping areas and provides 236sqm total size While the design itself isn’t inherently mid-century raked ceilings and a seamless integration of indoor and outdoor spaces – features that make mid-century homes so outstanding Best suited to a traditional sized allotment the Pavilion 140 would easily look at home in a coastal Sarah Homes’ Helen Lowrie says while the design used to predominantly attract holiday home buyers it has become a popular option as a permanent residence for many buyers as well “We are seeing more and more of our customers buying our designs as permanent homes,” she says light-filled spaces of our designs help our customers feel like they are on holiday everyday.” And this is how I felt the moment I stepped onto the decking and walked into the first pod the first thing you notice is how inviting and relaxing the space is “Featuring warm wood floors and neutral tones the Pavilion 140’s interior style is designed to feel calm and uncluttered,” Helen says “The separation of living space from the sleeping pavilion makes this a great home for entertainers.” it’s hard to not imagine playing host in this design The kitchen is nothing short of an entertainer’s dream with ample benchspace on the island and bench behind it plus there’s a handy breakfast bar that can seat four people The dining area and lounge effortlessly take up the rest of the large living pod space flowing out through multiple sets of sliding doors to the spacious deck While the wraparound deck offers endless entertaining potential and works to connect the two pods it is great to see the Pooraka display showcase how it can be integrated with any allotment The issue of an existing tree on site was no longer an issue as the deck seamlessly works around it – creating a statement that immediately draws your gaze It’s this attention to detail that makes the Pavilion 140 such a stand out I don’t expect to have luxurious features and finishes at my fingertips and yet I was genuinely impressed by what was on offer As I walked through the dining and living area I found myself leaning down to touch the floors to see whether they were hardwood – instead it’s a clever cost-saving timber-look floating floor that feels and sounds like real timber the kitchen benchtops have the appeal of solid stone but are a much more affordable Laminex option – a big tick of approval in my book which is the sleeping and utility quarters a neat tiled foyer greets you before a lush chocolate brown carpet runs throughout the space Although I used to overlook these kinds of features the tiled foyer is another tick of approval – ensuring dirty shoes stay away from the luxurious-feel carpets The master suite is set towards the back of the pod and features a large built-in wardrobe and a contemporary ensuite complete with a stylish subway-tiled feature wall in the double shower ideal for a morning coffee when the weather is warm The remaining three bedrooms are similar in size and have narrow tall windows in each allowing natural light to flood in The central bathroom can be found opposite and it features a handy bath and shower room The fourth bedroom has been shown as a study in the Pooraka display giving added flexibility that’s always appreciated in a home Although I considered this design as a potential option for first homebuyers Helen says it often attracts families due to the flexibility on offer “The two separate buildings allow our customers to configure the home to suit their allotment and to maximise any views and natural light,” she says “You could also introduce additional pods in the future depending on the available space of your block Our new home consultants can work with you to custom design a solution to fit your needs.” Helen says the Pavilion 140 display showcases “a mix of the standard specification with some feature upgrades” and has plenty of optional facade choices to suit your style and your block’s location Sarah Homes’ Pavilion 140 doesn’t just promise to provide an affordable design it refreshingly challenges the norm for buyers looking for that defining edge
