Go girls!
By Kristin Murdock Women in agriculture in Australia are actively involved in various aspects of the agricultural industry. They play crucial roles in farming, agribusiness, research, education, and advocacy. The agricultural sector in Australia offers numerous opportunities for girls and women to pursue rewarding careers and make significant contributions to the industry’s development and sustainability. The desire to contribute to the traditionally male-dominated industry is evident in the Naracoorte area, with Naracoorte High School students, keen to be a part of the sector. NHS students, Eliza and Millie, who are in Year 7, are both keen to have a future in agriculture and are currently studying the subject as part of their curriculum. “I really think girls can play a big part in the agriculture industry,” Millie said.

Response to McBride defection
By Chris Oldfield A TRADE school and further education facility in Naracoorte are opportunities which Nick McBride could work towards achieving as an Independent Member for MacKillop. Such a facility would include training for aged care and allied health as well as other vocations.

The resounding support for Mr Pasin was reflected in a vote 284 against Ms McBride’s 54. At the time Mr McBride squashed rumours that he was resigning from […]
