Mallee farming communities ‘deeply concerned’ about transmission line project

Nationals MP Anne Webster reveals farming communities across Mallee are “deeply concerned” about a transmission-line project. The project aims to connect the Western Renewables Link in Victoria to EnergyConnect in New South Wales, to deliver clean energy to consumers. “Scarcely a day goes by where I don’t hear from farming communities across Mallee who are deeply concerned about transmission lines,” Ms Webster told Sky News Australia host Chris Kenny. “Four hundred kilometres are expected to take place across Mallee, along with the renewable projects themselves. “And then of course you have to add rare earth mining.”
