Nicola was elected to the Legislative Council in 2020 and is extremely passionate about regional and rural South Australia.

As a mother, small business owner and active community member in the Riverland, she understands the pressures facing regional South Australia, its families and small businesses. This includes the delivery of health, education and other services, and recognising that the agricultural sector and the ongoing management of precious water resources will always be the lifeblood of many regional communities across South Australia.
