The health of the agricultural sector in this state is closely linked to the continued economic development of our regional areas. Holding the State Ministerial portfolio of Agriculture, Food & Fisheries and also that of Regional Development, Hon Gail Gago MLC is in an extremely influential position to foster the growth of regionally based rural industries.
A Registered Nurse by training and union official by recent occupation, Minister Gago grew up in the Victorian rural area of Shepparton. She was first elected to the South Australian Parliament in February 2002 as a Member of the Legislative Council. Her husband, Peter is a Roseworthy trained oenologist and currently works as Chief Winemaker for Penfolds, including responsibility for production of the iconic “Grange”.
Minister Gago initially took up the Regional Development portfolio in February last year as part of the Rann Ministry, then gained the Agriculture, Food and Fisheries portfolio in October as part of the new Wetherill Ministry.
Her health sector background, specialising in nursing and psychology provides Minister Gago with an insight to some of the critical personal issues affecting the rural and regional sectors. With previous experience as Minister for Environment and Conservation from 2006 to 2008, she can be expected to be in an ideal position to accurately identify the triple bottom line balance between people, economic and environmental issues.
Out of the public eye, Minister Gago’s interests include bush walking and running.
Please take the opportunity on 21st February to meet the new Minister of Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Hon Gail Gago MLC and hear her unique perspective on how the State’s rural sector can progress.
