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,

MURRAY DARLING BASIN PLAN UPDATE

Coalition press conference today as Labor’s Water Bill passes Parliament.

This legislation will see water removed from the productive pool with no regard to the social and economic impacts to Basin communities.

Labor has done a deal with the Greens and Independents to secure the passage of this legislation through Parliament.

In doing so they have played politics with the livelihoods of the 2.3 million people who live in the Basin and driven the cost of fresh fruit and veg up for others.

Ask the growers who own the water if they want out if the industry

Farmers will learn to use what they have more efficiently, surprising what they will do when backed into a corner, this should have been dealt with years ago.

Overseas companies ($$productive pool) growing in Australia and exporting direct and NOT supplying the Australian Market Is IT ?

Tony Pasin MP, the offer is for voluntary buybacks = no-one has to sell their’s. But your govt of more than 9 years let people sell their allocation to overseas businesses ? while it wouldn’t let them sell it to return it to our ecosystem that needs a flowing river system

The LNP paid $80 million (almost double the going rate) to Angus Taylor's family for water that was meant for South Australia, for your electorate. Buy Back was happening in secrecy during your term. And you said nothing. Complaining about Buy Back now when it has been proven this is the most efficient way to ensure the health of the river for producers and the environment alike is hypocritical.

Whinning flog

Quite frankly you are a disgrace!! Safest seat in Australia and you’ve done absolutely nothing!!

Give it a rest Tony. What has the coalition ever done to improve the health of the Murray Darling river system? Water buybacks are just part of this solution, along with funding for water efficiency strategies and leasing of water. The time for talking without action is done. How about working constructively with the government rather than grandstanding.

Anthony Albanese’s government should’ve been prepared to deal with the threat posed to Australian communities by the foreign born criminals now released. 

They weren’t. They were asleep at the wheel. 

Labor has put our borders, our national security and our safety into chaos.

Maybe the LNP could draft better laws that don't get overturned by the high court in a unanimous decision 😅 Then old mate Albo wouldn't need to do anything at all about this

They have all been promoted above their station and we have these idiots running our country ,worst govt.ever.

I’ve just heard Albo saying we are a very successful multi cultural country,how on earth can he say that with what has been going on in this country since oct.7 th.I shudder to think what will happen if world war three breaks out as all the western countries have been infiltrated with these hate filled terrorists and nobody is doing anything.We have them in our schools filling our kids heads full of lies and hatred.?where is it all going to end .

A threat orchestrated by you you clown

KATY GALAGHER IS TO PRESENT DIGITAL I.D. BILL TODAY TONY, & ANY POLLIE , OR PARTY WHO VOTES YES TO THAT BILL ,WILL NEVER GET MY VOTE !!!!!!! WE WANT TO SEE THE NAMES OF THOSE WHO VOTE FOR IT ....

It’s starting to look a lot like Christmas in my electorate office! 

The printer has done a great job of putting the 4 winning entries of the Barker Christmas Card drawing competition onto my 2023 Christmas cards and they will soon be delivered into letterboxes across Barker. 

Australia Post will be delivering this little piece of Christmas cheer (which also includes a 2024 Calendar for the fridge) from December 11th so keep an eye out in your letterbox, post box or mailbag. 📬✉️
