His decision to sit as an independent came after years of speculation about his future, sparked by his open criticism of the Marshall government, which included crossing the floor.<\/p>\n
Attorney-General Kyam Maher, asked on Monday morning whether it was appropriate Mr McBride to run again at March\u2019s state election, said it was a matter for the MP.<\/p>\n
“I find it difficult to see facing these issues how you would run a campaign,”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut that\u2019s up to an individual to decide what to do.\u201d<\/p>\n
On Sunday, Liberal Party leader Ashton Hurn also stopped short of saying Mr McBride should not run for re-election.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think it matters what your political stripes are, the reality is that any allegation on domestic violence is incredibly serious,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese allegations are incredibly concerning, and we\u2019ll certainly be watching this as it rolls out throughout the courts.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr McBride is also a grazier and his family’s business, AJ & PA McBride, owns farming land across South Australia and Victoria.<\/p>\n
The seat of MacKillop covers a large swath of pastoral and forestry land in the state’s South East.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It includes the coastal towns of Robe, Kingston SE and Beachport.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"South Australian independent MP Nick McBride will spend the next week in custody, after being arrested and charged…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":477167,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[54511,10762,4740,216108,281,216106,32551,65304,129282,50,216105,40921,216107,127205],"class_list":{"0":"post-477166","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-aggravated-assault","9":"tag-assault","10":"tag-australia","11":"tag-conmurra","12":"tag-court","13":"tag-domestic-assault","14":"tag-domestic-violence","15":"tag-dv","16":"tag-mcbride","17":"tag-news","18":"tag-nick-mcbride","19":"tag-robe","20":"tag-sa-mp","21":"tag-sa-politics"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115801860615365163","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/477166","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=477166"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/477166\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/477167"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=477166"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=477166"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=477166"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
