In the community
As a proud South Australian, advocating for the issues facing our State in the Federal Parliament is of great importance to me. When I am not in Canberra, my primary focus is engaging with our communities, celebrating the fantastic work of its local groups and organisations and listening to the issues facing South Australians. Below you will find the latest news from my work in sectors of the community I am most passionate about.

Many of our learning opportunities in 2020 come from virtual films like the @SA_Ambulance team have produced.
This is an educational and interactive way for children to learn what happens when a triple zero call is made📽️🚑
Great job team! https://t.co/v71bxj8tbz

Our paramedics are on the frontline serving communities near and far, while being exposed to daily risks.
My thoughts are with the SA paramedic who has tested positive to #covid19. I pray you recover quickly.
I thank all our paramedics for their unwavering dedication. https://t.co/dLsPTqsbTo
