South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas on Tuesday promised Labor would expand the Seniors Card, making it available to all permanent residents in the state aged over 60 and Indigenous residents aged over 50.
An extra 80,000 people could receive the card, that provides for free public transport and some discounts for cost-of-living expenses, under the $8 million commitment to scrap the 20-hour work limit for eligibility.
"Seniors are central to society and our economy – and it's important we support them to meet the cost-of-living," the premier said.
"This policy will ensure all South Australians 60 and over can enjoy the card's benefits, regardless of the hours they work."
Labor's latest pitch ahead of the March 21 election came as the Liberal Party again tried to fend off speculation about a One Nation deal.
The party announced it would invest $5.5 million to revive the Export Ready Program to help businesses start exporting and diversify where they sell.
It would deliver training and workshops and grants of up to $50,000 to support businesses to break into international markets.
Liberal leader Ashton Hurn delivered the news before again being questioned on whether her party would do a preference deal with Pauline Hanson's One Nation party, which has been receiving strong support in recent opinion polls.
She noted the deadline for lodging how-to-vote cards with the Electoral Commission was on Thursday.
"So it won't be too long until the people of South Australia will see how we're encouraging people to vote," Ms Hurn said.
"A deal would mean a uniform approach to all of the 47 seats.
"So that's not what you're going to see with what we put forward. We will have very individually tailored approaches."
Ms Hurn later said there were some issues One Nation was looking at "that I can empathise with".
However, she said One Nation "are not a party of government".
"They are not a logical or reasonable alternative for mainstream Australia," she said.
Nominations have closed for the election, with a record 388 candidates to contest the SA Parliament's 47 lower house seats, beating the previous record of 302 candidates in 2002.
Labor, the Liberals, the Greens, Pauline Hanson's One Nation and the Australian Family Party will each field a candidate in every seat.
