I will continue pushing for transparency and accountability on Proton Therapy Project. Taxpayers deserve transparency, accountability, and confidence that public funds are being managed responsibly.

Seven years is long enough.
The people of Coober Pedy deserve more than another temporary fix. While supporting the Local Government Transition Out of Administration Amendment Bill 2026, I again called for a long term, sustainable solution that delivers responsible financial management, reliable services, and better value for ratepayers.
With 68 councils across South Australia , it is time to have an honest conversation about reducing duplication, lowering administrative costs, and ensuring local government remains financially sustainable for the future.

Protecting our children must always come first.
In Parliament, I raised serious concerns about how our justice system handles alleged child sexual offenders , questioning whether enough is being done to prevent harm and keep South Australians safe . Communities deserve confidence that every possible step is being taken to protect children and hold offenders accountable.

The response was extremely disappointing, showing little regard for the genuine concerns of the Tungkillo community. My follow-up question was completely ignored.
The community deserves answers, not political deflection. This is simply unacceptable.

On Saturday, I had the pleasure of attending the Lifeline South Australian Volunteer Awards 2026, hosted by Regional Community Care Limited. This special event recognised and celebrated the outstanding contributions of Lifeline volunteers across South Australia, whose dedication, compassion and service make a profound difference in the lives of others.
Lifeline plays a vital role in supporting Regional South Australians through some of life's toughest moments. Its services provide a destination for help, offering crisis support, counselling, community services, self-led support resources and training. Through the commitment of its volunteers and staff, Lifeline continues to provide hope, connection and assistance to those who need it most.

On Saturday, I met with Matt Cadd at his farm, and we spoke about the ongoing issues impacting local producers, including rising input costs, operational pressures, the growing burden of over regulation, and the broader financial burden facing farming businesses.
It was a valuable opportunity to hear firsthand about the realities on the ground and the difficult decisions many farmers are being forced to make as costs continue to increase. These conversations are essential to ensuring the voices of our farming communities are heard and that practical solutions are pursued to support the agricultural sector.
Thank you to Matt Cadd and James Venning for taking the time to share their insights and experiences. Their knowledge and commitment to the industry are invaluable.

Farm dams are essential for our community, environment, and safety.
โข Dams protect livestock by ensuring a reliable water supply.
โข Dams provide a vital water source for native wildlife.
โข Dams assist in protecting our homes, sheds, and properties from bushfires.
Next week, I will be moving a motion in Parliament highlighting the critical importance of water storage and dam capacity for our South Aussie farmers.

Foster and kinship carers are among the most dedicated and compassionate people in our community. They open their homes and hearts to children in need, often making significant personal sacrifices to provide stability, care, and opportunity.
I look forward to working with Russell and his team to explore ways we can better support and empower foster and kinship carers, while ensuring the children and young people in their care have every opportunity to thrive.

No South Australian should have to travel 600-800km for essential healthcare.
Today, I questioned the Government about the lack of specialist healthcare services on the Eyre Peninsula and what is being done to reduce the burden on regional patients and their families.
Regional communities deserve better access to healthcare, closer to home.

Today I had the privilege of moving a motion in Parliament recognising ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ป๐ถ๐ ๐ข๐น๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ป๐ต๐ผ๐๐ฒ ๐ข๐๐ for his extraordinary service to veterans, mental health awareness and the wider community.

Having recently visited the gardens, I was struck by their beauty, serenity and the powerful stories of service they preserve.
Thank you, Dennis, for your service, leadership and unwavering commitment to helping others. South Australia is better because of people like you. ๐
