The protest, organised by Across Victoria Alliance, brought around 300 CFA volunteers, farmers, One Nation and National party supporters, and a variety of renewable energy opponents into Melbourne on the sunny Friday morning.

I’m disappointed that so many farmers and CFA (Country Fire Authority volunteers) who are going the be the most affected by climate change fronting this anti-renewables rally.
