Powerlines potentially unplugged

View descriptionShare
 

A 500kW powerline over farmland in north west Victoria has become a political hot potato, ahead of the November 28 state election.

Pauline Hanson and Barnaby Joyce will visit proposed sites in the East Wimmera  next week as part of a Farmers Fightback event.

Rural reporter Gabrielle Hodson spoke with one of the local MPs - Mildura Nationals MLC, Jade Benham.
