The drought gripping the eastern states has touched all Australians, including many in Mayo who have opened our hearts and wallets to help farmers in need. South Australia is no stranger to drought, so we have great empathy for the communities affected. To everyone who has supported our drought-stricken farmers, I say thank you.

I would like to give a special mention to some craft brewers in my electorate: Corinna and Frank from the Prancing Pony Brewery, who have provided 70 Karma Kegs to raise money for Drought Angels. Their donated pilsner has gone to more than 30 venues across Australia as part of a No Grain, No Food, No Beer campaign. The list includes venues in Mayo: the Pony, the Barker Hotel, the Haus in Hahndorf, the Normanville Hotel and the Duck Inn in Coromandel Valley. Corinna and Frank hope their Karma Kegs will raise at least $40,000 for Drought Angels and bring some good karma. What happens to farmers affects us all. No rain could well mean no grain, no food and no beer. Karma Kegs runs until 3 September, so I encourage you to find a participating venue and raise your glass to our farmers.
