00:00Hi, I'm Lucy Hague. I'm one of the farmers that are being impacted by REZ with the two large 80 metre high transmitter lines that are going to run through prime agricultural land all the way from Nundal down through Timor, Waverley, Gundy and all the way through to Sydney.
00:22We haven't been consulted on this whatsoever. There's been little to none contact, yet we are now going to have to argue the point of why it is not a good idea to be running this transmitter line all through our beautiful agricultural land.
00:41My name is Alison McPhee. I'm a fourth generation farmer up the valley of Waverley with my parents. We are working on that farm. We're very concerned about the feasibility of all of this. It's going to destroy our rotational grazing outfit that we have. There's been no consultation. We're the environmental experts of our valley. We're the custodians and we've been given no opportunity to be part of the corridor conversation.
