This week is National Road Safety Week
Today, the focus is on taking care around those whose job places them in harm’s way on our roads, by slowing down and giving them the space they need to be safe.
Each day, the RAA alone attend more than 950 callouts across South Australia, with many of these on high-speed roads including our regional highways.
It may go without saying but today's theme is a good reminder to take extra care when passing anyone stopped on the side of the road.
Thanks for your support!
I joined the Tatiara District Council today to celebrate the completion of the Tatiara workers accomodation project in Bordertown. 🏘
This jointly funded project received $335,000 from the former Coalition Government's Building Better Regions Fund and has provided two, four-unit accommodation blocks to help address the need to accommodate the local workforce.
Australia’s housing crisis is a significant limiting factor to the economic growth of our regions and our Agricultural sector in particular. Unfortunatley under Labor, housing approvals have fallen to their lowest levels since the Labor Gillard Government.
I commend the Tatiara District Council on seeking solutions to address the issue locally. While it's well beyond the traditional 3 R's of local Government, it's a brilliant example of how the Building Better Regions Fund has helped Council to address local needs and the regions economic sustainability.
The State and Federal Labor Government's failure to address congestion and safety concerns in Hahndorf's main street have left residents to come up with their own solution - an alternative 3km link road.
I met with community leaders and civil engineer Colin Best today to discuss the proposal and the importance of finding a solution that all stakeholders agree to.
Simply banning trucks from roads is not the answer. Labor dont understand the importance of the freight task and getting goods from farm or factory to market efficiently while addressing the road safety concerns for all road users.
Excellent initiative . Freight bottlenecks are the kryptonite of efficient freight . First mile ,last mile and in this case the bit in the middle . Will a elected coalition commit to making this a priority ?

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

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.

Best pies in town
Sauce bottle empty Tony Pasin MP ?
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!
