Mr PASIN (Barker) (13:48): I rise today to speak about the Riverland Field Days held this past weekend. I do so—and I'm so pleased to be doing so—in the presence of some eminent members of the Riverland community who have come here to see democracy in action. The Riverland Field Days, formerly known as the Riverland Implement and Gadget Field Day, are now a two-day event which attracts over 20,000 people. Country field days, of course, promote the best of what local communities have to offer and provide an invaluable chance for those operating regional agribusinesses to exchange ideas and socialise. There was a wonderful sense of community at this year's event, and I was pleased to see the Riverland Exhibition Centre at the field day site being put to good use. Of course, our government contributed over $400,000 to help build that facility. The field days event also provides an opportunity for me to relocate my electorate office for a day or days and to speak directly to Riverlanders about the matters that matter to them. This year, water was never far from the conversation. Access to affordable water from the Murray-Darling Basin is paramount for the survival of river communities. There is widespread concern amongst Riverland residents about the operation of the Murray-Darling Basin water market. The planning and execution of the Riverland Field Days is a huge undertaking. It involves many pairs of hands undertaking many tasks. A massive congratulations must go to the organising committee for another successful event, headed up by Chairman, Ian Webber, and Executive Manager, Tim Grieger.
