19.01.2022 COVID-19 ADVICE If you are quarantining or isolating in an area of fire risk, you can leave that location if you are in an emergency or if your home is unsafe - but try to get back as soon as you safely can. If you need to attend a relief centre or a Bushfire Last Resort Refuge, you need to stay outside, alert emergency services at the location and follow their instructions. Advise emergency services that you have left quarantine or isolation due to COVID-19.... Please ensure your emergency kits are updated to include masks, sanitiser, and any other items you may need to keep yourself safe and prevent any potential spread of COVID-19.

18.01.2022 Kuitpo Forest reserve has welcomed hundreds of thousands of new residents as the reserve opened to beekeeping for the first time an an effort to help SA's apiary industry. Minister David Basham - Member for Finniss and I had the opportunity to meet with some of the team on the ground that have been working on the pilot program. In particular we had the opportunity to meet with Simon Peacock of Mypolonga (Bakehouse Farm), one of three regional beekeepers who have been o...ffered sites as part of a State Government program. The other beekeepers being Aaron Woolston from Meningie and Les Crane from Strathalbyn (L & L Crane & Sons). Although the rain meant the bees were staying in their hives, it was instructive to be on site and to have the opportunity to discuss the pilot’s progress thus far and how the government can continue to support our apiary industry. During the initial phase of the pilot program, the Apiary Taskforce - which was established by the Marshall Liberal Government to source beekeeping sites on public land - has identified three sites within Kuitpo Forest, each able to house up to 120 hives with up to 60,000 bees in each hive.

13.01.2022 Did you know that the average household produces 3.3 kg of food waste EVERY week? and that an average general waste bin is made up of more than 40% food waste? A simple way that you can do your bit for climate change is to compost at home or (more convenient for most), pop your food waste in your green bin. Less food in landfill = less methane emissions = a more climate smart South Australia. I recently put together this useful fridge magnet and have been distributing i...t locally. Let me know if you’d like one! For further tips on what to put in which bin, visit www.whichbin.sa.gov.au or the Which Bin? Facebook page. #NationalRecyclingWeek

Furthermore, private functions at licensed venues with a maximum of 150 guests, like weddings, will be able to have standing consumption and dancing. This can be indoors or outdoors. However, there is a strict condition that contact tracing records are kept of all guests and other specific requirements like having a COVID Marshal present are met. I sincerely thank South Australians for their cooperation as we continue to ease restrictions.

03.01.2022 I want to give you an update on the swift and decisive action we're taking to further strengthen our medi-hotel system. Based on expert health advice, we will ...implement eight specific actions, including transferring all positive COVID-19 cases from medi-hotels to a dedicated health facility. We will also ensure that the security of this facility is exclusively provided by SA Police and SA Protective Security Officers. I want to point out that while the recent independent review by Ms Jane Halton AO PSM gave South Australia's medi-hotel system a gold star, there is never zero risk of transmission with this virus. It's a nasty, silent enemy. And as every day, week and month passes, we're learning more and more about it. That's why we will not miss any opportunity to review our systems in real time and act. And these eight actions are an example of just that. I also want to highlight the wonderful work our front line staff have been doing right across the state. Your hard work and dedication is critical in keeping SA safe and strong Thank you.
