Rukshan Fernando A strong contingent of Victorian farmers made the long distance trek to Parliament House in Melbourne with 45 Tractors to voice their displeasure with the Daniel Andrews Labor government over a controversial project to run renewable energy power towers/lines through their prime agricultural land and farming properties.
I spoke to some of the farmers that were present, and included their thoughts and concerns in this highlight video, alongside some of the comments made by activists and politicians that were present at the protest in Melbourne today.
Chyyyna?
Honk honk!
💪❤💪Love you farmers. Much respect.🇦🇺
Looks like Netherlands a few months ago. What happened with that? What will happen with this protest? Same as what happened a few years ago with protests. Nothing.
Please update us all on the next protest….we all need to get there en masse.These farmers are our backbone…..this gov is destroying our land and our valuable people. Respect to our farmers.💪❤🇦🇺
100% support!!!🇦🇺🦘
Thanks

Now realise people, this is the nwo. W€ f. It's global. It's gonna get worse. Stop being so singular. They are coming from every angle. Wake up.
Powerlines won't effect crops.
100% behind farmers
And all for nothing, switch to solar and wind then China stops supplying replacement equipment, we gona be sitting in the dark with no heating, cooling, food or industry.
Give farmers a break!
Was there watching this, one thing for sure there are many issues affecting the farmers that are not understood at all by the city folk.
Mr Andrews didn't turn up?? Just curious.
Glad the cops backed off on this one
There’s more to Victoria than the Melbourne metro area Dan
The greens were overrun by communists with the fall of the ACP about the early 1990s. Since then they have no longer stood for the environment but they use the worst environmental policies to hit the country like a cudgel to bring in their marxist utopia.
Renewables are not any sort of renewable, they are not reliable and they only move the pollution from one area to another and one type to another (more pollution at the manufacturing point and more visual/noise pollution as the installation points). We need this madness to do with destroying our power grids while at the same time we have large multinational corporations profit from these. We already know that it is in the financial bottom line for companies to profit by forcibly closing coal fired power stations but there is no protection of the grid from such sabotage.
If 450,000 people protesting the mandates can't persuade this Government, what hope do you think you have with this prick of a Government?
If politicians like to eat they should think about the farmers who make food possible by hard work not policy making
I need a tractor
Our Govt is a Shocker….no longer do they care for Australians.
Thanks for being there RR and sharing this vital cause.
Fark the corporation Grubberment
And vote N0 to the voice, the government will slyly use the Aboriginal corporations as a tool, in order to take your land !!
Vote N0 to the voice and protect your property and our food industry.
Most city people have absolutely no clue where Australia's wealth come from and it is outside of the city not within .
I'd rather eat my Australian grown food in the dark, than have expensive electricity illuminating my children's empty mouths!!
God bless you Rukshan for this platform and giving people a voice
This really is heart breaking, even in the 70's in Qld when the Government owned electricity, they just rocked up one day and picked our farm ( farms around us were not affected )and we tried to fight it, but 4 huge power lines and transformer was put on our property, not only did it stop us from using the land underneath for cultivation, but it devalued our land, Dad was only compensated $5000. Now it's big corporations who seem to have more power than our own government.
If people want to keep enjoying the great quality of fruit and veges that only comes from Aussie Farms, then they would be wise to start supporting farmers, instead of being led to believe that Cow Farts are the cause of Global warming 🤷♀️ or be prepared for all food imported from countries that are not up to the standards we have all been accustomed to. If city folk want renewable energy, and demand every one go vegetarian, yet are happy to allow solar and wind farms, then consider the amt of wild life, Birds, insects, mammals, you name it are Killed in the process, and stop blaming Cattle, sheep etc,. Like my dad would say, They are Vegetarian,( Cows) all they Need is Grass. 😂
1. No transmission lines.
2. No Ausnet
3. No SEC
4. NO DAN ANDREWS.
Bulldoze Brunswick, Northcote, Coburg and Richmond and install wind and solar farms. Problem solved.
The Victorian government should be ashamed of themselves. What a disaster!
Thank you farmers,without you Australians will die.
Thank you and God bless
Not to Mention BUSH FIRES. The FIRE Authority has Said They WONT be Able to PUT the FIRES OUT. Its SO STUPID. DAN DOESNT CARE.
The only thing the Green's care about is the mighty dollar. Both parliament parties are a disgrace to the Australian Spirit and have been selling out this country to China, for decades. The people need to rise up and say enough! Before it's too late.
Farmer's wont have a choice if the Voice gets through.
Thank you to all farmers – the folks we all need. Our govt has completely failed us all.
Hey mate I came back for another look today, these cats put the "yes" advertisement before ya video 😂
God. Another awful move by our organized criminal cartel, or "govern" ment
Let the civil war begin.
Vic farmers need to contact
Greg Kenney rural action movement West Australia.
SAVE OUR FARMS ……WE CAN GET RID OF DAN THOUGH
No to the voice put no on every question they are coming for our land never let a corporation change anything to do with the constitution.
Say NO!
Time to clean the house of fools
We need to forget this so called green energy. We should build new clean coal fired power stations. We also have heaps of gas. Which is the cleanest form of energy we have. Stop this green nonsense now. Let’s stand up together Australia, against the government and the U.N.
My dad is a farmer and I’m from regional Victoria so to see these people supporting farmers and the important work they do in good. The agricultural sector in government needs to do better. How do they expect farmers to trust labor when they are never consulted about anything labor wants to do? Before you make policies, survey the people.
