I am appalled by the shocking attack on Dr Helen Haines MP in regional Victoria today. My thoughts are with Dr Haines, and I wish her a full and speedy recovery. My thoughts are also with her family, friends, staff and colleagues at this difficult time. While this is a deeply distressing incident, I want to acknowledge the courage and swift actions of members of the public and first responders who came to her aid.

We need more homes. And that means getting more tradies on building sites sooner. In a nation-first program, we’re fast-tracking apprenticeships across seven key trades, supporting up to 1,000 new apprentices to get qualified sooner. The program has been designed to meet the demands for new housing as well as projects including the Torrens to Darlington, the new Women’s and Children’s Hospital and defence initiatives such as AUKUS. More pathways into good jobs. More skilled workers to build the homes and major infrastructure South Australia needs.

Some good and important news for workers who have transitioned out of the steelworks in Whyalla.

The @alpsa is united by a simple purpose: delivering a better future for working people and their families. And today at State Convention, we outline what more we have to do - and we’re getting on with it.

Congratulations to all the winners at the SA Premier’s Business and Export Awards. Behind every business are people backing themselves, creating jobs and putting South Australia on the map.

Liam thought he’d have to move to Europe to work in a Michelin-starred restaurant. Now he can do it right here in South Australia. Bookings have surged since last night’s announcement - just like at Esmay who was awarded a Michelin star. But this recognition belongs to people like Liam, working behind the scenes to make our restaurants world-class. Their talent and hard work are giving people another reason to visit South Australia, stay longer and spend more with local businesses. That’s why breaking new ground matters. It creates jobs, opens doors and gives talented South Australians more opportunities to build their future here at home.

Wonderful to check-out the Don Dunstan: 100 exhibition at the St Peters Town Hall Gallery - an excellent tribute to Don Dunstan’s legacy on the centenary of his birth this year.

Amora’s opening in Victoria Square is another vote of confidence in South Australia. Creating jobs for South Australians, from cleaners to chefs - each bringing dignity and opportunity. A quality brand investing in a state that’s growing.

We just introduced something pretty important for families into Parliament today…

This is your first look of the tunnels for the Torrens to Darlington.

Red Bull is one of the most recognisable brands in the world.   And now, it’ll be the title sponsor of the first ever MotoGP Grand Prix in Adelaide.   It’s a huge endorsement for this event and a massive coup for South Australia.   It’s a global partnership that’ll bring with it enormous international exposure and help establish Adelaide as a must-visit destination on the MotoGP calendar.   South Australia is building something special here.   And now with Red Bull and MotoGP teaming up, we’re gearing up for an incredible first race in 2027.

Kids want opportunities to get off screens, get outside and do more fun, active things with friends. The huge uptake of free come-and-try sports sessions these school holidays shows just that. Today we’re formally rolling out our Kids Off Screens initiatives, with the first schools eligible for free Year 7 camps to be announced this week. My government is making it easier for kids to get involved, make friends, build confidence and find activities they love.
