The Barker Electorate

The Division of Barker is an Australian Electoral Division in the south-east of South Australia. The division was established on 2 October 1903, when South Australia’s original single multi-member division was split into seven single-member divisions.

It is named for Collet Barker, an early explorer of the region at the mouth of the Murray River. The 63,886 km² seat currently stretches from Morgan in the north to Port MacDonnell in the south, taking in the Murray Mallee, the Riverland, the Murraylands and most of the Barossa Valley,

Stopped to check out the new silo art in Lameroo lately?!

It’s looking amazing. 

Huge congratulations to Lameroo Forward Inc who have worked incredibly hard for a long time to raise the funds to complete this project. 

It’s fantastic to see their efforts pay off.

⚠️ If you are in the Cannawigara area, leave now.Watch and Act - CANNAWIGARA Bushfire - Leave Now

Action
Leave now. This bushfire may threaten your safety. Check that the path is clear and go to a safer place. Do not enter this area as conditions are dangerous.
The CANNAWIGARA bushfire is uncontrolled. This grass fire is burning in a North Easterley direction towards the Ngarkat Highway, Railtz Road and Senior Road. Conditions are continually changing.
For updates, check the CFS website at cfs.sa.gov.au or phone the Information Hotline on 1800 362 361.

Homes that have been built to withstand a bushfire, and are prepared to the highest level, may provide safety.
You may lose power, water, phone and data connections.
Fire crews are responding but you should not expect a firefighter at your door.

What you should do
• Check and follow your Bushfire Survival Plan.
• Protect yourself from the fire’s heat – put on protective clothing.
• Tell family or friends of your plans.

If you are leaving
• Leave now, don’t delay.
• Roads may become blocked or access may change. Smoke will reduce visibility.
• Secure your pets for travel.
• If you become stuck in your car, park away from bushes, cover yourself, get onto the floor as the windows may break from the intense heat.

If you are not leaving - prepare to defend
• Identify a safe place inside, with more than one exit, before the fire arrives. Keep moving away from the heat of the fire.
• Bring pets inside and restrain them.
• Move flammable materials such as doormats, wheelie bins and outdoor furniture away from your house.
• Close doors and windows to keep smoke out.
• If you have sprinklers, turn them on to wet the areas.

Labor has failed to deliver on its energy promises, and Australians are paying the price with some of the highest electricity prices in the world.

There are three energy goals we need to achieve as a nation:
 
1. We need cheaper power, 
2. We need consistent power, and,
3. We need to move towards cleaner power 

Only by becoming a latest generation nuclear-powered nation can we deliver on these three energy goals for Australia. 

Zero-emissions nuclear energy has the potential to deliver affordable, reliable and clean power.

Would it be different under liberals I would not think so

It is easy to find that Australia is not in top 8 most expensive. Nuclear is years off: if it even happens. So many questions regarding nuclear unanswered. If pushing it, be transparent with the plan. What are LNP electricity plans overall in near future? Are there any? LNP did nothing in 9 years of government except infighting

And, what exactly did the Liberals do about high power prices in the 9 years they were in government ? My power price doubled during the LNP reign. Yet, my usage went down. And now your mob want to put nuclear power stations throughout Australia. No details about where the billion dollars will come from to pay for them, no details about where they will be situated, no details about what you will do with the nuclear waste. And to pay for it all, will you double our current power costs. Or will you just borrow more money and get us further in debt? Labor are slowly paying back the trillion dollars debt the LNP left us with.

Tony Pasin MP how about publishing the truth as per the AEMO report; glamadelaide.com.au/south-australia-records-nations-biggest-fall-in-power-prices/ According to the latest quarterly report released by AEMO, South Australia saw an average wholesale electricity price of $55 per megawatt hour in the first quarter of this year. This represents a notable decrease of $17, or 24%, compared to the same period in 2023.

Tony Pasin MP, Who will finance those nuclear power stations ? when will they be built ? Where will they be built ? What do you suggest we do in the meantime ?

How about building new age clean burning coal plants like, I don't know, other developed nations around the world?

Malcolm Turnbull thought a lot of your energy credentials 😂

Thanks Tony Pasin MP for recognising the huge contributions of volunteers in so many different aspects of our lives throughout Barker. There are many people who just want to add their contributions of skills & enthusiasm to their communities. They might not want to be recognised publicly, but congratulating then for their efforts can inspire others to carry their work on. How will you determine who receives an award ?

Wendy Easson..

It's been great to stop and have a chat with RSL sub-branches as I drop off a bottle of bundy for members to enjoy a drink on me next Thursday. I've started my annual 'Bundy Run' the Barossa this year. Next stop the Limestone Coast before hitting the Riverland next week!

My annual bundy run has begun!

Yesterday I dropped off a bottle to Tim in Springton and I took the time to tour his incredible collection of war memorabilia.

Thanks to the support of the Springton Post & General Store, Tim has created this amazing display - one of the best I’ve seen.

I feel you need to re-consider the effectiveness of Headspace, after the stunt at Renmark High recently they need to be investigated and perhaps have some management changes.

Not a good move Tony Pasin MP look at the damage they have caused to young girls at Renmark High, I would not be endorsing them at all, there must be other counseling bodies around that would do No Harm to our young people

Sorry Tony Pasin MP but after what they pulled at Renmark High School, with their LGBT+ activism posing as respectful relationships, I don’t think we can support headspace Berri or any other Headspace office ever again.
