Joyce to join farmers rally
FORMER Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce is set to join a farmers rally in Marnoo later this month alongside One Nation Leader Pauline Hanson.
Farmers Fightback announced this week Mr Joyce will attend the event at the Marnoo Recreation Reserve where One Nation are also likely to announce their candidates for the seats of Ripon and Lowan.
On social media, Farmers Fightback says Barnaby has spent his career saying what farmers are thinking, whether Canberra liked it or not.
“So when we told him what's happening here, the fines, the intimidation, the transmission lines, he didn't need convincing. He's coming to stand with us,” they said.
The Stawell Times-News reached out to Mr Joyce’s office for comment on his visit but did not receive a reply.
It’s understood more than 500 tickets have already been sold for the fundraising event.
It will be held from 5pm on Saturday the 29th of August at the Marnoo Recreation Reserve.
Tickets are $50 each and can be booked online.
