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,

Last night in Parliament I spoke about the far reaching consequences of Labor's policy to recover water for the environment through Government buybacks. Basic economic principles tell us its bad policy at any time, never more so when we are already facing uncertain economic times, high inflation and a cost of living crisis. ... See MoreSee Less
Funny! When Barnaby Joyce purchased $80mil in non existent water from Angus Taylor, you didn’t seem to have a problem with it! Did you Tones? 🥺
The supermarket shelves are getting less produce, and that is from labor , green and independant voters like jacqui lambie
Desperately your help Tony Pasin MP regarding NDIS
Why are you so strong on buy back yet you don't fight for release of water for the same district. Just doesn't make sense. So you're happy for the upstream cotton industries to hold all the water and let the Murray mouth close over? mmmm who do you look after? Oh yeah, Liberals.
WELL SAID TONY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LIEBOR WILL KILL OUR AGRICULTURE !!
Water rights should never be sold. They should stay with the property: not sold by current owner to another and even stay with the property if and when sold
Fantastic to join with Tatiara District Council to officially open the new Nalang Creek pedestrian bridge at Mundulla today.
This project is one of the many ways the Coalition Government’s Local Road and Community Infrastructure program is investing in community to foster strong, sustainable and prosperous regions. It’s also a great example of working together with Tatiara District Council to fund local projects, delivering great outcomes for residents!

How about stepping in and putting an end to the drag queen trying to sexualise the children of mount gambier next Saturday Tony Pasin MP

The Albanese government has carried forward the Coalition's AUKUS agenda to acquire nuclear-powered submarines – this is to be commended.
The plan is necessary, because there is a cost to preserving peace.
Anthony Albanese must be upfront with Australians about the true impact on the budget and other defence projects.

THROW BACK THURSDAY
For decades the Mount Gambier community have discussed the need for an indoor recreation centre.
Today, the community will come together to celebrate the official opening of Wulanda - a $62 million facility, and the largest community infrastructure project ever undertaken by the City of Mount Gambier.
It's been a journey!
From a small group of passionate community members who met in my office in early 2018, to a community meeting attended by more than 350, then a Federal Coalition Government commitment of $15m followed closely by $10 million from the State Liberal Government. It's a great example of working together at all levels to achieve great things!
Congratulations to everyone who has played their part along the journey. This is a true community campaign success story.

Proud to say I voted for and long supported the idea of the [now] Wulanda Recreation & Convention Centre. - A splended idea, well executed and now there for my family for years to come. Thanks to the then Federal and State Libs and the City Council and those many people who were strongly vocal in their support,
Quite a turn out at the Kingston SE town hall tonight for the Kingston District Council meeting to discuss Bank SA plans to close the branch here.
My Coalition Government colleagues in the Senate initiated an inquiry into regional branch closures and the committee are currently taking submissions.
I encourage anyone living in regional Australia to make your views heard. www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Committees/Senate/Rural_and_Regional_Affairs_and_Transport/...
Our major banks need to think long and hard about their social responsibility to communities.

We need banks....it makes me feel more secure when I can actually speak in person with the bank. Senior citizens deserve the right to feel safe and secure.
What we find annoying is that we can’t bank at the post office with ANZ. In Meningie we have lost Bank SA and National Bank so to bank our money we need to do the 160km return trip to Murray Bridge, very time wasting.
