Shadow cabinet of South Australia

The Opposition (see Opposition (Australia), Opposition (politics)), in the Australian state of South Australia comprises the largest non-Government party not in Parliament. The Opposition's purpose is to hold the Government to account and constitute a "Government-in-waiting" should the existing Government fall. To that end, a Leader of the Opposition and Shadow Ministers for the various government departments question the Premier and Ministers on Government policy and administration, and formulate the policy the Opposition would pursue in Government. It is sometimes styled "His Majesty's Loyal Opposition" to demonstrate that although it opposes the Government, it remains loyal to the King.

The current Leader of the Opposition is South Australian Liberal Party Leader Ashton Hurn, and Josh Teague is the Deputy Leader.
