Questions without notice and ministers statements

Electricity infrastructure

 Rikkie-Lee TYRRELL (Northern Victoria) (12:07): (1165) My question today is for the minister representing the minister for energy in the other place. At this time of year the amazing, hardworking people of our farming communities should be working from sun-up to sundown, harvesting their crops for the year. Instead farmers to our north and west are travelling hours to stand in support of each other against harassment and forced entry to their land by VicGrid officers. Will the minister stop the forced entry by VicGrid officers until such time as the landholders and communities have been thoroughly consulted and listened to?

 Ingrid STITT (Western Metropolitan – Minister for Mental Health, Minister for Ageing, Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (12:07): I thank Ms Tyrrell for her question, and I will happily refer that to the minister in the other place for an answer in accordance with the standing orders.
