The South Australian Government is tipped to raise about $A500m from the privatisation of its land titles office. The final bidders are said to include Hastings Funds Management and First State Super, which paid $A2.6bn for the New South Wales land titles office earlier in 2017. Meanwhile, SA Treasurer Tom Koutsantonis says he will deliver a traditional Labor Budget on 22 June. Measures will include investment in infrastructure, further small business payroll tax discounts and an increase in the Job Accelerator Grant.

South Australian Premier Jay Weatherill has called for sweeping changes to federal-state relations at the upcoming leaders’ retreat. He says full responsibility for primary and secondary school education – as well as childcare, which is federally funded – should be transferred to state and territory governments. Weatherill also argues that vocational and tertiary education should be solely the responsibility of the federal government.

The South Australian Government will shortly commence a tender process for the redevelopment of the old Royal Adelaide Hospital site. The Government proposes to build a high school on part of the site, and while the existing hospital buildings will be demolished, there have been suggestions that the seven-storey east wing be retained and used by the school. Future uses for 85 per cent of the site have yet to be determined
