Virgo demands fair share

Apr 15, 2026 | Article, Community Stories, This Week's Issue, Top Articles

New MacKillop MP Jason Virgo used his first formal meeting with Naracoorte Lucindale Council to make a blunt case for more state support, arguing the district’s economic output was not matched by infrastructure, health, and service investment.

Mr Virgo met with mayor Patrick Ross and CEO Kelly Westell last week, with the discussion centered on the region’s case for a bigger return from government.

The district’s economy is substantial by regional standards, with a gross regional product of $655 million and 4,815 employed residents.
