Mr Speaker, 29 November each year is commemorated as the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, as declared by the United Nations General Assembly in 1977. The day acknowledges the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine has its origins in the Nakba when approximately 700,000 Palestinians were either killed or forced from their homes as the result of the partitioning of Palestine by the United Nations in 1948.
the interests of residents and developers and ultimately be for the benefit of the entire community. Recently, I was contacted by concerned residents in Dublin who reached out to me about the proposed local code amendment. They did not believe they were getting answers to the questions they were asking. In response to those concerns, I held a community forum in Dublin on Sunday 24 November.
Today I would like to talk about the power of art to enhance our communities. The other thing I would like to bring to the attention of the chamber is that there are a number of people in our community who have caring responsibilities.
One of the joys of being an MP is that you meet a lot of community groups and you go to visit a lot of people in their communities. It is particularly heartening when you see some communities that seem to punch above their weight. One such community is, in my view, Eudunda, also known as part of the Valley of Hidden Treasures. This small community hosted a wonderful agricultural show on the weekend. It was great to see some locals from the Gawler region also at the show.
Like the members for MacKillop and Flinders, I would like to acknowledge the contribution made by my local show, which is the second biggest show in South Australia, just behind the Royal Adelaide Show.
Today, I rise with immense pride and joy to celebrate the remarkable achievements of our local sporting teams and the outstanding success of the 2024 CCL Label Clare Valley Wine Show.
On Friday night, I was very proud to be accompanied by agriculture students Noah McKiggan and Fred James from Trinity College Senior and Daniel O'Reilly and Jasmine Reid from Gawler and District College at the Agricultural Bureau of South Australia 2024 Spirit of Excellence Awards.
There are many people who serve the community with distinction. Today, I would like to speak about and honour the work and life of Ms Angela Gerace. Sadly, Angela died on 5 July 2024, aged 45, from acute myeloid leukaemia.
