Mr RAMSEY (Grey—Government Whip) (13:19): Mr Deputy Speaker, you, like other members of this place, would sometimes have people make complaints to your office about various things, whether it’s about being vaccinated or about not being vaccinated or about 100 other topics, but I’d have to say that, in the last four years, my office has…
The Australian Government continues to back communities impacted by, and recovering from drought, with eight new projects in Grey to receive a share of more than $1.3 million in federal funding announced today under Round 22 of the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal’s Tackling Tough Times Together initiative. Federal Member for Grey Rowan Ramsey…
Disaster recovery grants of up to $10,000 are now available to local primary producers affected by the severe storms from 28 to 29 October 2021. Federal Member for Grey Rowan Ramsey said hail, strong winds and heavy rainfall caused significant damage to crops and farm infrastructure across South Australia on those days. “From Eyre Peninsula…

Mr RAMSEY (Grey—Government Whip) (16:35): I have to say, I farmed for 35 years. It’s always challenging, and this year is proving absolutely no different. In my state and in my electorate after a wonderful start to the season, where, in particular, the June and July rainfalls were exceptionally good and the seasons seemed to be…
Mr RAMSEY (Grey—Government Whip) (20:39): I rise to speak on the Electoral Legislation Amendment (Voter Integrity) Bill 2021. I’m surprised that the member for Solomon—as he leaves the chamber—has so little faith in Labor’s candidate in Lingiari, Marion Scrymgour. I can tell him that the seat of Grey has a far longer boundary with the seat…
Mr RAMSEY (Grey—Government Whip) (13:32): I must say, Deputy Speaker O’Brien, I was expecting someone else to be in your chair when I rose to speak, because I did want to speak about my good friend the new Speaker, Andrew Wallace. I didn’t know this man before 2016, and that’s not unusual in this place, but…
Mr RAMSEY (Grey—Government Whip) (16:28): Those that sit on the other side of this chamber must be the only people in Australia, it seems, that think Australia has not dodged an economic bomb. The economic management of Australia over the last two years through the pandemic has been quite extraordinary. In fact, almost any other country in…
Mr RAMSEY (Grey—Government Whip) (11:11): I’d like to thank the member for Chifley for bringing to the House this important motion, which commemorates or recognises 75 years of the diplomatic relationship between Australia and the Philippines. I gave a speech on this in February this year as that date approached. I am the co-chair of the…
Mr RAMSEY (Grey—Government Whip) (16:05): I too echo those comments. On a brighter note, last Friday I was given the opportunity, along with Mayor Clare McLaughlin, to open the new Whyalla airport terminal, a $12 million expansion or upgrade of the existing facilities. It came about as a result of the mandatory implementation of passenger screening…
