The premier has kicked off a two-week regional blitz, hitting the road to shore up votes ahead of the March 21 election. His first stop was the Fleurieu Peninsula, where expanding the state national park system took centre stage. @KomarekMichaela
The state government has announced a new national park located near Burra in South Australia’s mid-north. Named Jaki Ina - Worlds End Gorge National Park, the area is culturally significant to the Ngadjuri people. It comes as other national parks are expanded with an additional 26,000ha at Nilpena Ediacara National Park on the western fringes of the Flinders Ranges. Horsnell Gully Conservation Park in the Adelaide foothills has increased up almost 70% to 93 hectares thanks to the donation of Stonyfell Quarry land. There has also been a recent 18sq km expansion of the Seal Bay Sanctuary Zone off Kangaroo Island to help protect endangered Australian sea lions.

As winter sets in, authorities are warning of a sharp rise in heater-related house fires. While it may seem obvious to take care around electrical appliances or an open flame but far too many still do not recognise the risks. @KomarekMichaela#7NEWS
