Thousands of people across Barker completed Barker’s Biggest Survey sent out by Member for Barker Tony Pasin.

Survey participants were promised one lucky survey responder would win a prize in return for their views.

Christmas came early for Mount Gambier resident Kathryn Marshall when Mr Pasin presented an iPad to her last week.

Mr Pasin said the survey was completed online and in hard copy by thousands of Barker residents who gave their views on issues of importance to them.

“I am extremely grateful to the 3000 people who took the time to communicate to me what is important to them and how we can make our local community a better place to live, work and raise a family,” he said.

“Their views will inform my advocacy on their behalf in the Federal Parliament.

“My office is busy collating the data from the more than 3000 responses and I will be sharing the results of the survey with the broader community over coming weeks.”
