Re-Connecting with the electorate?



It sure is more than a worry, when a State Premier who says he wants to 're-connect' with his electorate, disappears from his constituents whilst overseas.
Even our National Broadcaster ABC, via local radio in Adelaide can't contact or find the Premier of South Australia.
No-one knows where Premier Mike Rann is.

He was last seen in London, and even his beloved Tweets have stopped.
......... Government by Twitter? You be the judge!

Is Mike ok? Do we need to consider a new Premier (memories of PM Harold Holt disappearing off Portsea) comes to mind.

Premier Good-News as he is dubbed for his penchant for only fronting up to announce, ...... you guessed it, .......... good news, is seriously missing in action somewhere.
His deputy Kevin Foley who declared publicly that he is "not the sharpest tool in the shed" has also gone to ground.

Who is running this state?

We are entitled to ask is Parliament relevant anymore in SA, since they rarely sit, and the Premier governs via Twitter and then disappears as does the Deputy Premier. HELP!
