It’s National Agriculture Day - our chance to thank our farmers for putting the best food on our tables, clothes on our backs, and caring for more than half of Australia's landmass. Ag plays a huge role in ensuring a strong future for our nation.

Today Senator Richard Colbeck (@colbeckr) visited the Nicholls electorate in his capacity as the Minister for Aged Care and Older Australians, and the Minister for Youth and Sport.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It is really important to have ministers visit our electorate because it gives them an unfiltered insight into how things operate in our community. I very much appreciate the Minister making time to come and visit Nicholls. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Today is @ruokday and it is a special day to raise awareness, but any day of the year is the perfect day to reach out to someone you think might be struggling, or to ask for help if you yourself are struggling.

Mental health problems are something most Australians struggle with at some point in their lives, and up to one in five of us will suffer from an ongoing mental illness. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Unfortunately, many of us suffer in silence, but this week is an opportunity for us to all shine a light on mental health. This starts with World Suicide Prevention Day today and follows up with R U OK Day on Thursday.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you're struggling with mental health it is important to know that there is no shame in asking for help, or in saying "no" when someone asks if you are okay. Being vulnerable takes courage, but everything gets easier after that first step. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you're not comfortable talking to someone you know, or to someone in your town, there are a number of resources listed on my website where you can get confidential help by telephone or web-chat. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
