Former Liberal leader Martin Hamilton-Smith has declared himself a South Australian independent Liberal and joined the Labor Government as a minister.
The former Liberal will become Industry, Trade and Defence Minister.
Mr Hamilton-Smith says businesses need certainty and stable government.
"I have spoken to [current SA Liberal leader] Steven [Marshall] and explained my position," he said.
"What I am focused on is making a contribution."
The fourth-term Labor Government would have 23 seats and the support of two independents in the 47-seat lower house of the SA Parliament.
More to come.
