Farmers vs VicGrid: Transmission Line Standoff

Published 1 month ago
Description

Farmers in western Victoria are clashing with VicGrid over the proposed VNI West transmission line, fearing it will threaten their livelihood and legacy. Surveyors were met with resistance at Marnoo farmer Ben Duxsons property, leading to a warning from VicGrid about obstruction. Farmers, some with families farming for six generations, are coordinating resistance through apps and vowing to keep showing up at gates. The standoff shows no signs of cooling as farmers push back against what they call overreach.
