Political families of South Australia
Well kiddo, sometimes in politics, a family can become really important. In South Australia, there are some families that have had lots of people who become politicians.
Imagine you have a really big family, and lots of your family members are in charge of making big decisions for your city or state. That's kind of what it's like in South Australia.
One important political family is the Dunstan family. You might have heard of Don Dunstan, who was the Premier (kind of like the boss of the state) from 1967-1979. His brother Peter and son Andrew also became politicians.
Another important family is the Rann family. Mike Rann was the Premier from 2002-2011, and his wife Sasha Carruozzo was also a Member of Parliament. Their son is also involved in politics.
There are other families too, like the Bonython-Potter family and the Downer family. It's kind of like having your own political dynasty!
But it's important to remember that just because someone is related to a politician, it doesn't mean they will automatically become a good politician themselves. Everyone needs to work hard and earn their position, no matter who their family is.
