A group of local farmers have organised a town hall meeting in St Arnaud on Monday regarding the VNI West transmission line project that local farmer Jason Barrett says could go right through his farm. He says the local community doesn't want the project, and if undergrounding is an option - even if costly - it should be considered given the amount of taxpayer money spent in metropolitan Melbourne.
