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,

Stop here kids for your very own piece of liberal propaganda 🤣
Regional health services are so important.
The South Australian State Labor Government dont seem to understand the significance of community health services for small towns.
The loss of nursing and some allied health services to towns like Lucindale under a new policy of Country Health Connect is yet another example of how out of touch out the Labor Health Minister is with regional communities.
I take my hat off to feirce community advocates like Dr David Senior who are helping to make Lucindale's voice heard.
If you are at the South East Field Days and you want to add your voice to Dr Seniors campaign, pop in to the Yakka Pavillion and fill out a survey.

Not just Lucindale. Coonalpyn and Tintinara have both lost their community health centres. While the Albanese Government promised $2.9 billion for primary health care in the last budget, it seems that the SA Government is shrinking primary health care and de-skilling nurses. It’s disgraceful.
Going to be a great day! ☀️
If you’re at the South East Field Days pop in for a chat.
I’m at site 8 in the Yakka Pavilion and we’re part of the Blue Yakka Trail!

WHAT IS AGENDA 21? Agenda 21 is a forty chapter document, ‘Sustainable Development Governance’, authored by the infamous Maurice Strong and released with two other important documents that became known as the Rio Declaration at the end of the 1992 United Nations Earth Summit in Rio. Chairing the Earth Summit, Maurice Strong declared “ Isn’t the only hope for the planet that industrialised civilisations collapse? Isn’t it our responsibility to bring that about ?” Here is the thinking that fathered this insidious Agenda 21 scheme; presenting a dangerous, social engineering ‘Trojan Horse’ well camouflaged by some creditable environmental objectives and convoluted language.Agenda 21 is not simply an environmental welfare document, it is a relatively detailed Fabian socialist ‘blueprint’ for how the world should live in the 21st Century with potentially horrifying social and economic implications for a liberal, democratic society such as ours; its principal objectives including abolition of private property rights, global governance and redistribution of wealth. While two of the three key documents making up the Rio Declaration became voluntary international treaties, UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (later becoming binding under the 1997 Kyoto Protocol) and the UN Convention on Biological Diversity, Agenda 21 was cleverly not promoted to become an international treaty. It is a ‘soft law’ document; the signatory nations to the document being considered by the UN to be “morally obligated to implement its proposed programme”. Hence, in not being legally binding through international treaty, the strongly suggested Agenda 21 regulations could be implemented administratively within a signatory country without legislative action; avoiding legal jurisdiction and that is what has been happening in Australia, supported not only by Labor but also the Liberal party . However, adoption of Agenda 21 in Australia has units around the world called International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives, ICLEI, (changed its name in Australia recently to Local Governments for Sustainability) . ICLEI function is to particularly assist Municipal Councils to implement Agenda 21, monitor progress and report back to CSD; Oceania’s and Australia’s ICLEI base being located within the office space of the Council of the City of Melbourne. This possibly gives a picture of the chain of command of the Agenda 21 ‘ enemy’. Just as an aside, it is interesting to note that Local Agenda 21 recommends that Councils should be able to make their own laws. You will remember that while no rational explanation was put forward by either Labor or Liberals to justify a very costly referendum to amend the Constitution to supposedly just facilitate fund transfer, the formal constitutional recognition of Local Government would make Local Government an identified layer of government and then be able to write their own laws. Isn’t it interesting that such a constitutional amendment would then enable Councils to move from ‘regulation writers’ to ‘law makers’ as recommended by Agenda 21? For some reason(s) I have not been able to discover, none of the politicians I have contact with want to talk about Agenda 21. Here we have a forty chapter, classic Fabian Socialist scheme setting out the intention to destroy society as we know and support it. So, when Conservative politicians are prepared to give lip service to the Agenda 21 scheme which aims to ABOLISH PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS, IMPLEMENT GLOBAL GOVERNANCE and REDISTRIBUTE WESTERN WEALTH, the siltation makes no sense and we should all press our elected representatives for an answer to the ‘Julius Sumner Miller’ question “WHY IS THIS SO?” JOHN SMEED October 2013
In many ways, agricultural shows and field days are the heart and soul of our regional communities.
Yesterday, I was thrilled to help officially open the new multi-purpose building at the Keith Showgrounds, built with the help of a $280,000 grant from the former Coalition Government.
The funding is helping the Keith & Tintinara District Show continue to thrive, so that the event can be enjoyed for generations to come.
Can't wait to see the new facilites come to life next weekend!

Earlier today I joined my State Liberal colleagues Josh Teague - Member for Heysen and Adrian Pederick MP and local campaigner Anne Fordham of the River Road Group. It’s clear we need a meaningful plan to tackle traffic congestion around the Hahndorf Township as well as the broader Adelaide Hills.
The former Federal Coalition Government had money on the table to sort this out but thanks to Peter Malinauskas’ Labor Government we’re back at the drawing board. 👎
