Karl Stefanovic has joined the fight against the New England Renewable Energy Zone transmission project, which threatens to disrupt the agricultural landscape in New South Wales' Hunter Valley. Farmers are concerned about the lack of consultation from authorities regarding the installation of transmission lines that will span kilometers and include 80-meter towers. Many landowners fear that this will not only destroy prime agricultural land but also significantly decrease property values. In his podcast, Stefanovic emphasized the struggles of these farmers, stating, 'No one is listening,' and highlighted the unforeseen costs associated with achieving net zero emissions. Local farmers have expressed their frustration, with one recalling an unannounced land assessment by EnergyCo workers on her cattle property. The community has rallied together, forming the Protect the Valley group to voice their opposition to the project and advocate for their rights as landowners. Support for Stefanovic's involvement has been strong, with many farmers thanking him for shining a light on their plight.
