Abstract
The proposition that the South Australian government is an autonomous governing entity should be an uncontentious axiom of federalism. Nonetheless, the degree to which state governments continue to exercise significant policy autonomy within the Australian federal system has been much debated by scholars of federalism. The first six months of 2020 brought the power and reality of this continuing autonomy firmly to the fore.
