Twelve Australian farming families fined for blocking surveyors
Original: reneweconomy
Twelve Australian farming families have been fined $814 each for refusing surveyors access to their land, which sits along the route of a proposed 480-kilometre project. The farmers say they are defending their properties and livelihoods, and their stand has drawn attention to tensions between rural landholders and large infrastructure developments. The fines have sparked debate about landholder rights and consultation.
Why now: The fines highlight ongoing conflict between rural landowners and major infrastructure or energy projects being pushed through private farmland.
