There was $347,000 to the Bowhill Township; $125,000 to the Karoonda Business Park; $500,000 to the BIG4 Caravan Park at The Bend; $105,000 to the Harbour Mannum tourist grant; $200,000 to Murraylands Multisports; $171,000 to the sporting shooters at Tungkillo; $49,750 to the Imperial Football Club in Murray Bridge; $2 million for a new Strathalbyn SES station; $3.9 million for a new Strathalbyn Ambulance Station; $2 million to the Kanmantoo Copper Mine; $1.3 million to the Pinnaroo electric vehicle charging station; $648,000 to the Mallee Community Playground Trail project; and $449,917 to the on-farm emergency water infrastructure rebate scheme. That is over $200 million worth of funding, which I was so proud to deliver as a local member during the former Liberal government during the time we were in government. It shows what you can do in regional areas when you have the power and the will to invest in local communities. A Liberal government will do that in regional South Australia, and I am so proud of what we delivered in the seat of Hammond.
