Among the GPSA’s key election priorities are the commission of a statewide rail and port freight, a $1 billion drought and emergency support program, and state government investment in emergency biosecurity response capacity.

The election priorities were designed to deliver “tangible” outcomes on-farm and in regional communities to ensure the industry would keep delivering strong economic and regional benefits.

“These priorities are grounded in what grain producers are dealing with right now and will be into the future,” GPSA CEO Brad Perry said.

Tourism peak body releases election policy

The Tourism Industry Council South Australia (TiCSA) has presented its tourism policy priorities for the state election following a difficult year.

TiCSA has called on all parties to commit to stronger and sustained investment in tourism to protect the 20,000 businesses across the state and $10 billion in economic value.

New data from TiCSA Tourism Barometer for the December Quarter reveals the state’s tourism sector is regaining momentum, but activity remains below the neutral levels.

“After a year marked by natural disasters, rising costs and uncertainty, tourism businesses have worked incredibly hard, and it is encouraging to see momentum starting to rebuild,” TiCSA CEO Shaun De Bruyn.

Argo Investments announces half-year profits

One of Australia’s oldest and largest listed investment companies, Argo Investments Limited, has announced a half-year profit of $130.8 million.

The company, which was second on the 2025 SA Business Index list, bolstered its profits due to an increased income from trading and options activities.

The fully franked interim dividend increased to a record high of 18.5 cents per share, up 8.8 per cent on the previous corresponding period with dividends now up 37.5 per cent over the last five years.

Argo said its investment approach favoured “established businesses with sustainable dividends” and avoided speculative mining stocks due to fluctuating share prices.

Myriota launches new asset tracker

SA-based satellite telecommunication company Myriota has unveiled its long-life asset tracker AssetHawk™ to deliver “reliable global visibility beyond the reach of traditional cellular networks”.

AssetHawk is powered by Myriota’s HyperPulse 5G Non-Terrestrial Network satellite connectivity, which would support scalable tracking of trailers, containers, pallets and vehicles.

It is one of the most affordable asset trackers, and is currently available in key global markets including Australia, New Zealand, United States and Canada.

“By delivering global coverage, predictable multi‑year life and straightforward integration in a single device, we’re giving solution providers and systems integrators a way to scale tracking profitably, even for assets that were previously too remote or low‑value to justify a tracker,” Myriota CEO Ben Cade said.
