While it was originally thought that it might take [URL=http://gamepolitics.com/2010/03/22/atkinson-wins-then-resigns]up to two weeks[/URL] for a replacement to be named for departing South Australian Attorney General Michael Atkinson, it's only taken a handful of days.

South Australian Premier Mike Rann has named fellow Labor Party member John Rau (pictured) as South Australian Attorney General.
