Fraser Ellis is hopeful of a positive reception within the South Australian parliament of his attempt to legislate recommendations of a select committee inquiry into conflicts between farming and mining land use, as metropolitan urban sprawl reaches into farming land nearer to Adelaide. The former Liberal turned independent MP says he's had a good working relationship with re-elected federal Liberal member Rowan Ramsey as his main reflection on the 21 May federal election, and says farmers are hopeful in Narungga after opening rains on the 28-29 May weekend.
