Spoke in Pingrup this weekend, not just to talk but to connect. My family worked land 30km away. The last yarn ended when the final mallee root burned out. Time + trust = connection. That’s when the real weight lifts. @GrainProducers @_lifelinewa #mentalHeath #2iC #Pingrup
AGM has started for @GrainProducers another positive year with strong results and continued leadership by growers for growers - we’ll continue working together in best interests of growers. @VFFGrains @AgForceGrains @NSWFarmers @GrainProducerSA @WAFarmersGrains @WAGrainsGroup

Has the national cost of living crisis really reached this point of desperation? Police taking the offender down down - but is anyone arresting the supermarket prices that are still evading Aussie consumers? @Coles @woolworths @NationalFarmers @GrainProducers @M_McCormackMP
Dramatic footage has shown the moment a man was arrested after he allegedly stole a Woolworths truck by assaulting and stunning the driver, sparking a police chase across Sydney. skynews.com.au/australia-news…
Today would have been my dad’s 74th birthday. This season carries gravity. Father’s Day, his birthday, and the anniversary of his passing all fall within 60 days. For me, grief has no straight path. It revisits, reshapes, and rises when I least expect it. But alongside it…

A rare honour to second the nomination for @MiltonDickMP to be the Speaker of the House of Representatives for the 48th Parliament of Australia. Milton was exemplary as the Speaker in the previous Parliament & will do a great job again. Watch my speech: bit.ly/40tCEId
