24.01.2022 I welcome the passing of this important piece of legislation and look forward to debating it in the Lower House. The proposal removes abortion entirely from the criminal law a move that would bring us in line with all other Australian states and territories. This is a based on the understanding that it is a medical procedure which should be treated like any other health issue.

24.01.2022 Well done SA - we’ve set a new daily record for the number of COVID-19 tests. From day one, testing has been the cornerstone of our response and has helped us get to where we are today.

23.01.2022 I can’t thank South Australians enough for continuing to get tested Yesterday a phenomenal 19,205 tests were taken. A new record.

11.01.2022 So far, 304 labour hire providers have applied for and received partial refunds, with the legislative changes meaning they no longer need to hold the licence.
