The 3G switch off should be delayed for as long as it takes to address safety concerns at the very least.
Many regional areas of Barker rely on 3G for coverage, not just for phone service but agricultural machinery using GPS or even some eftpos services in regional towns.
Read more about the switch off at amta.org.au/3g-closure/📣We’re giving our customers who haven’t upgraded their devices an extra two months to prepare before we switch off our 3G network on 𝟑𝟏 𝐀𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒.
ICYMI all 3G networks across Australia have been switched off, or are closing. Here’s why:
👉Telcos right across the world are doing this to transition customers to stronger, more reliable and more resilient 4G and 5G mobile networks
👉3G is old technology and how we use our devices has significantly changed
👉Traffic on our 3G network has declined – it accounts for less than 1% of total network traffic
👉We announced we’d be closing 3G around 5 years ago and have been regularly updating customers ever since
Once the network is switched off, old devices that rely on 3G won’t work anymore, so they’ll need to be upgraded. This includes devices like:
📱 3G-only mobile phones
🚨 4G-enabled mobiles that rely on 3G for emergency calls
💳 Other devices that rely on 3G, like medical devices and some of the older EFTPOS terminals
We’ve made it easy to check if you need a new mobile. 𝐒𝐌𝐒 ‘𝟑’ 𝐭𝐨 𝟑𝟒𝟗𝟖 and we’ll tell you if your handset needs to be updated.
For other connected devices, it’s best to reach out to the supplier or manufacturer for more info.
Not comfortable paying for new devices to use a system I didn't elect to have. Sorry but when my devices don't work this time they can stay off. So over this over riding control and manipulations.
Should never be turned off. If it ain't broke dont need fixing. It's all about big Corp profits. Should never have sold our telco
In some areas 3g is the only thing that does work, 4g doesn't cover some areas Craig Muster Trisha Paech
3G needs to be turned off to allow regional areas to be upgraded to 5G. If the government didn't restrict the frequency spectrum, this might not be an issue. Ohh, that was Liberal wasn't it? It's not the Technology but the handsets themselves.
Tony Pasin MP what about rural places that don't have 4G services yet. Outlying areas around the Southern Mallee don't have reliable service. Extremely dangerous for those who have life threatening medical conditions or if there is a fire. Telstra apparently upgraded the Parilla tower in 2021 yet it is still a black spot! Where is the necessary bare minimum for ALL Australians!

South Austraila has some fantastic off-road adventures and breathtaking camping spots. With the cost of living putting interstate and overseas holidays on hold, a 4x4 or caravan is proving a popular option for family get aways. ⛺️
However, the Albanese Labor Government now want to tax new
4x4 and SUVs, adding thousands of dollars to the price of a new vehicle. 💰
Australians should be able to choose what car they drive, without being penalised.
Join the fight against Labor’s new family car tax and ute tax. Sign the petition at lbr.al/5s6d
Sensational gala concert last night for Generations In Jazz!
This event wouldn’t be what it is without the amazing volunteers in the organising committee. Well done on yet another fantastic weekend of jazz in Mount Gambier.

Did you get a pie Tony🤣🤣🤣🥰
Australians are paying a high price for Labor’s economic mismanagement.
At this point those numbers would be a dream because im paying double these figures
You forgot fuel
It hasn’t been easy under Albanese
Electricity, gas and food is expensive BC Kevin Gallagher needs a 6 mill bonus and shareholders need to make profits. Lucky Labor are redistributing your tax cuts to the wealthy back to working class
Private companies can charge what they like, more dog whistling
I popped into Sugar 'n Spice & All Things Nice in Mount Gambier today.
It's a fantastic family owned and run business with award winning products who celebrated 10 years in business this year!
If you haven't tried their pies and pasties I highly recomend you do. Never a better time to support small businesses like this.

Sauce bottle empty Tony Pasin MP ?
Best pies in town
Always 'popping in' somewhere. Nice work if you can get it at $200k+ a year.
Did you know the world’s tallest timber building is 85 meters high?! It was built using the strength of cross-laminated timber (CLT).
I had the opportunity to see the new NeXTimber facility in Tarpeena today where Timberlink is manufacturing mass timber products just like CLT from sustainably managed Australian plantation pine. 🌲
The Cross Laminated and Glue Laminated timber products offer long term carbon capture and storage combined with the strength, uniformity and technical predictability needed for tall wood buildings.
CLT and GLT is the building material of the 21st century and the product is being embraced by leading architects, builders and designers around the world. It's an exciting development in the industry and it's all happening right here in Tarpeena!
A reminder that nominations close for the 2024 Barker Volunteer Awards next Friday, 10 May.

Tonight, I attended the vigil in Mount Gambier to honour the memory all victims of domestic and family violence including 28 so far this year.
The announcement earlier today by the Prime Minister is a crucial step towards combating the scourge of family and domestic violence.
There is no excuse for violence and we will work with the Government to help end the national crisis of family and domestic violence.
While it's great to end violence, are you going to educate police on not laughing at men when they make a report of violence..or is your party also gender based and only acknowledge the majority of victims instead of being inclusive of all
