Tom Koutsantonis MP slams new SA Liberal leader

·

South Australia’s Minister for Transport, Tom Koutsantonis MP has slammed the newly elected state Liberal leader Vincent Tarzia.

According to The Advertiser, Mr Koutsantonis accused Mr Tarzia of being untrustworthy just hours after his election.

“The Liberals have decided to reward one of their treacherous members who decided to undermine his leader,” Mr Koutsantonis told reporters on Monday, August 12.

Mr Tarzia took over as SA Liberal leader on Monday after the resignation of outgoing leader David Speirs last week, who announced he had enough of being undermined and no longer had the energy to fight for the job.

Mr Tarzia emerged as the winner of the Liberal leadership spill, beating out his colleague Josh Teague with 18 votes to four.

During his first press conference in the new role, Mr Tarzia claimed his party would win the next state election.

When asked if he was worried about the 2026 election, Mr Koutsantonis said “you can’t trust treachery, and if you can’t trust treachery, you can’t trust Tarzia.”
