	The Poll Bludger - Australian State and Federal Elections
		Kerin came to parliament from a background as a farmer and small businessman, and was promoted to the primary industries portfolio in 1995.
		Kerin remains in the leadership purely because his serious rivals have written off the coming election, although he did survive a farcical challenge from Waite MP Martin Hamilton-Smith in October 2005 which collapsed when he failed to muster the eight votes needed for a spill.
		Rob Kerin was not spared the whip by voters in his own electorate, who deserted him to the tune of 9.5 per cent on primary and 8.1 per cent on two-party preferred – which more than eliminated his premiership dividend at the 2002 election.

	From South Australia - More Protection for the Great White Shark (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		In announcing the move the Minister for Primary Industries Rob Kerin said it followed an extensive two year state wide review and subsequent national review instigated by the Liberal Government in September last year.
		The use of blood, bone, meat, offal or skin of a animal (other than in the rock lobster pot or fish trap) within 2 nautical miles of the mainland of the State or all Islands and Reefs of the State which are exposed at the low water mark would also be prohibited.
		Kerin said the basis for protection of the white shark is the uncertain status of the shark, the importance of the white shark as the apex predator in the ocean and the associated risk of ecological extinction.

		Labor’s message in the version they have unleashed in the first week of the campaign is brutal, even cruel, using footage of a bumbling interview by Rob Kerin after he warded off a challenge last year when he appeared to have trouble explaining why he wanted to be Premier.
		At this juncture Rob Kerin quietly campaigns on the three principles he enunciated some weeks ago at his “mini-launch”, namely “honesty, the economy and making sure the services people want are there when they need them”.
		The problem for Kerin may lie with the fact that during the last week of the campaign the Commonwealth Games will be in full swing and, unlike in 1997 when Labor made late headway on a shoestring budget, that background noise may simply stop any late advertising making an impact.

		Thank you very much Dean, to you and to the Premier Rob Kerin, Rosemary Craddick and Senator Robert Hill, Minister for Defence and Leader of the Government in the Senate, my other Ministerial, State and Federal Parliamentary colleagues and fellow Liberals.
		This State over the next period ahead needs the leadership of a person who understands the aspirations of the men and women of South Australia who is adding his own life’s experience, the opportunity to successfully found and build a small business, who’s come to politics with an understanding of every day needs and aspirations.
		There is an opportunity for that greater sense of hope and optimism of which I have spoken to be entrenched, but it can only happen under the stewardship of the man I now invite to address you, Rob Kerin.

	Address at the launch of the SA Liberal Party's Land Tax Policy - 22 February 2006 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		THE HON JOHN HOWARD MP Thank you very much Rob Lucas, Rob Kerin the leader of the South Australian Opposition, my state parliamentary colleagues, candidates, ladies and gentlemen.
		Let me say at the outset that there is, to use a well-worn mantra which is true of Australian politics, there is no such thing as either an unwinnable election or an unlosable election.
		And so is the case in relation to South Australia and the proposition that the current Government could have done more to build on the fundamental economic strength delivered by the Federal Government is an argument that I know will be very prominent during the course of this campaign.

		Having nearly won the 2002 State Election against the odds, it is likely he would have made a good Premier, but he unfortunately lacked the aggressiveness required in Opposition.

		The socially daring policy that decriminalised personal marijuana use was a reform introduced by John Bannon's Labor Government in 1987.
