Policy Idea Statement: Protecting Mallee’s Farmland and Farmers from Reckless Renewable Energy Projects
The Mallee region is the heart of Victoria’s agricultural backbone, feeding families across Australia and beyond. Our farmers are the lifeblood of this electorate, yet their livelihoods, land, and legacy are under threat from the uncontrolled rollout of industrial-scale renewable energy projects—wind turbines, solar farms, and high-voltage transmission lines. These developments, driven by distant urban policymakers and profit-hungry corporations, are carving up prime farmland, disrupting agricultural productivity, and driving up power prices for hardworking Australians. Pauline Hanson’s One Nation, through my commitment as your candidate for Mallee, stands firmly with our farmers to halt this destruction and safeguard our agricultural future.
