Farmers pressure Coalition to kill controversial transmission project

Farmer Ben Duxson urges the Coalition to commit to scrapping the VNI West transmission line, saying landowners are still waiting for firm action.

“They’re proving a bit slippery the Liberals and the Nationals at the moment,” Mr Duxson told News24 host Peta Credlin.

“Matt Canavan and Anne Webster were out here a couple of months ago and said if they get in federally, they will certainly make sure they get rid of the VNI West.

“Not so much the Liberals in Victoria and the Nationals as well.

“There’s a lot of work to go there.”
