		But Mike Rann, South Australia’s Premier and the first senior Australian official to visit the FCC after the October 12 attack that killed scores of his compatriots, insisted that Australia would not retreat or disengage from Asia as a result.
		But ex-journalist Rann, who used to work at the New Zealand Broadcasting Corporation, said he believed that talk about Australia retreating from Asia in the wake of the attack was a “media beat-up”.
		Rann said that one of the great symbols of Australia’s engagement with Asia was the construction of the Alice Springs-Darwin railway, the largest such project in the world.

		A young Mike Rann used to hear all the gruesome stories of the dead bodies his great-grandfather, a British police sergeant, fished out of the Thames.
		But Rann speaks of the strong inference he drew from every gathering: that the people were “sick and tired of being done over” by the criminal element.
		Rann detractors are never likely to bother the seasoned political campaigner or, indeed, steer him off course.

	Flinders University: News, events and notices - The search for substance: Mike Rann's quest continues (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Mike Rann still appears to cater much of his policy to the headlines of The Advertiser, but Flinders University political scientist Dr Haydon Manning thinks there is increasing substance discernible in his premiership.
		Rann's reputation as the "king of spin" is well deserved, Dr Manning said: interviews with MPs, party and ministerial advisers and journalists revealed that there is plenty of basis for the view that the government's public image is tightly controlled and minutely monitored.
		One enigma for Dr Manning is the apparent relish Rann brings to his duels with the legal profession - he said the vehemence of the attacks suggests there is more behind them than calculated populist vote-getting.

	Rann attacks Labor's mantra in opposition - National - smh.com.au
		THE Premier of South Australia, Mike Rann, has launched a thinly veiled pitch for the Labor Party's federal presidency by rounding on the party's "oppositionist mentality" at federal level.
		Mr Rann said South Australian Labor regained power by being relevant to the community, using plain language, having a clear policy difference with the Liberals and "strong message discipline".
		Mr Rann is competing against the NSW senator John Faulkner, the federal frontbencher Simon Crean and the NSW MP Linda Burney for the presidency.

	South Australian legislative election, 2006 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		On February 20, Premier Mike Rann invited Governor Marjorie Jackson-Nelson to issue writs for the election.
		Commentators also argued that the "presidential" style of campaign could be seen in Labor's formal campaign launch at the Norwood Town Hall the Sunday before the election, which had some similarities to the nomination conventions that the major parties hold in the United States.
		The only other contestant was Isobel Redmond who ran for the reason that she was unhappy that the Evans deal had already been allegedly stitched up by federal Liberal counterparts.

		MIKE RANN: In 2010, at the time of the state election, there'll be a referendum and people can either vote to keep the Upper House as it is, vote for reform to reduce the number of MPs and give them four year-terms rather than eight-year terms.
		MIKE RANN: My view is that I would prefer the option of either abolishing the House or substantially reforming it.
		If Premier Rann succeeds in abolishing the Upper House, his lasting legacy for South Australia will be to put the mock back in democracy.

	Poll date set for Mike Rann in SA - National - theage.com.au
		At the last election in 2002, the fate of Premier Mike Rann, a one-time press secretary to former premiers Don Dunstan and John Bannon, was in the hands of a maverick Liberal dissident, Peter Lewis, who enabled Mr Rann to cobble together a coalition.
		Premier Rann, tainted in 2002 by his link to Mr Bannon's $3 billion State Bank losses, has reinvented himself as the state's responsible economic manager, presiding over an unprecedented mineral boom and the consolidation of a high-end defence sector.

	Labor wins Australian state elections with business backing
		In South Australia, the minority government of Premier Mike Rann claimed Labor’s biggest victory in that state’s history, winning 28 lower house seats and leaving the Liberal Party decimated with just 14.
		The Australian declared “Mike Rann’s the man” because he had combined avowed “law and order” policies with “economic responsibility”—measured in terms of attracting business investment.
		In his last term, Rann made the unprecedented decision to install an unelected, prominent mining magnate, Robert Champion de Crespigny, as a member of his inner cabinet executive.

		Ironically, Rann's pact with Peter Lewis has implications for the prudent Ernst and Young budgetary model; the promised elimination of broom rape, a weed that threatens wheat farming, is expected to cost more than $50 million.
		And the lack of majority means that if legislatively frustrated, Rann cannot resort to Dunstan's tactics in the 1970s, when more than once Labor responded to blocking of its program by forcing, and then winning, elections.
		If Rann were to lose a vote of confidence, then the Liberals, with the support of independents, could immediately form a government.

		Day in, day out, when the polls were good and when they were bad (which was most of the time) Mike Rann kept plugging away for the Labor Party, deeply conscious of his over-riding mission statement: to give us victory.
		I was honoured to be in the front row the afternoon of his election policy speech in 2002 at the Adelaide Oval – willing him on – as he enunciated Labor policy on schools, hospitals, industrial relations and the environment.
		Mike Rann is the vital, indispensable National President for the Labor Party at this time.

	Australian state government appoints non-elected cabinet members (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Rann’s latest bid for political survival involves an unprecedented departure from the British-style “Westminster” system of parliamentary democracy.
		Significantly, Rann’s announcement attracted virtually no comment, let alone criticism, in political, media and academic circles—yet another indication of the extent to which democratic norms are being repudiated by all sections of the official establishment.
		The state opposition Liberals “reserved judgment” on the step, asking Rann to indicate whether his appointees would be bound by his ministerial code of conduct and the rules of cabinet solidarity.

		Rann has not given his opponents so much as a look at the ball, let alone any free kicks.
		To prove the point: honoring an election promise, Rann recently instigated a discussion paper on the issue of religious vilification and discrimination laws.
