Elected to the House of Assembly in 2006, and elevated to the Shadow Cabinet in 2008, Adrian relishes the opportunity to represent farmers, fisherman and the entire community of Hammond which he is so passionate about.

As Shadow Minister for the River Murray, Adrian believes the plight of the river is one of the most, if not the single most important issue facing South Australia. He has a plan of action to end the 8 years of neglect that the river has suffered under the Rann Labor Government. He has taken a leading role in the fight against the government’s proposal to construct a temporary weir at Wellington, a disastrous short-term solution to a nation-wide water shortage.

Since becoming the Member for Hammond, Adrian has had an even greater involvement with community organisations around the electorate, and relishes the opportunity to help the people he represents.

Adrian, his wife Sally, and two young sons Mack and Angus, maintain residence on the family farm at Coomandook, where Adrian managed a dryland and grazing enterprise for 14 years.
