Rikki Lambert spoke on the morning after a 21-15 NSW upper house vote to disallow floodplain harvesting regulations, with state member for Murray covering much of the NSW Murray, the Shooters Fishers & Farmers Helen Dalton celebrating the result but NSW Irrigators Council's Claire Miller saying the move was counter-productive to preventing unregulated harvesting.

Former minister Geoff Brock, independent member for the state seat of Frome, with Port Pirie one of its major centres, opposed boundary changes that now see him feeling compelled to run for the seat of Stuart which will contain Port Pirie at the 2022 March state election. In this interview, Mr Brock talks about the housing, homelessness and mental health challenges for the region and his passion for the Upper Spencer Gulf as a future powerhouse.
