2 weeks ago | abc.net.au | Tyrone Dalton

The Coalition's promise that no additional transmission lines would be needed under a Liberal-National government has given western Victorian farmers a glimmer of hope. Many landholders oppose the controversial Victoria to NSW Interconnector West project, which promises to connect renewable energy to the grid for customers in Sydney and Melbourne. Opposition leader Peter Dutton's National Party colleague Bridget McKenzie doubled down on the party line on ABC radio in the past fortnight.

Andrew Crossman first noticed a rough patch of skin on the tip of his nose in 2019. The tennis coach and avocado farmer was naturally concerned, having spent a lifetime in the sun, but had always worn a hat. To be safe, Mr Crossman saw his GP, had a biopsy taken and was given the all-clear. But that rough patch returned twice in 2022 and was removed both times, before again returning one year later. It was then, while on a trip to Darwin, that Mr Crossman noticed a large lump inside his nostril.

How much has the price of eggs increased and who is worst hit?

1 month ago | abc.net.au | Daniel Miles |Tyrone Dalton |Madi Chwasta

Australia's bird flu outbreak is continuing to hinder shoppers with egg restrictions in place at major supermarkets across most parts of the country. Experts say the ongoing bird flu outbreak has reduced Australia's egg-laying population, in turn reducing egg availability. Egg stocks dipped further over the traditional summer peak period and it is unclear when supply will return to normal levels.
Some states pay to raise homes to protect against floods, so why not Victoria?

2 months ago | abc.net.au | Tyrone Dalton |Anna McGuinness

The Victorian government won't pay to retrofit homes in flood prone areas such as Rochester. It did not apply for a slice of federal funding that helped other states co-fund grants of up to $150,000 for residents to raise their homes. Rochester residents said they are being left to protect their homes themselves and fear for their future. Flood-weary Victorians say their government has abandoned them after letting a slice of $1.6 billion in funding to future-proof their homes slip.

New emergency warnings have been issued for out-of-control bushfires spreading in multiple directions in the Grampians/Gariwerd National Park.

Jan 2, 2025 | abc.net.au | Philippe Perez |Tyrone Dalton

Experts in the aviation industry are calling for more thorough investigations into recreational aircraft accidents following a spate of fatal crashes across Australia last year. Twenty-seven people died in 20 light aircraft crashes in 2024, including those flying in home-built planes, crop dusters, and helicopters. Aviation consultant and training officer Lorraine MacGillivray said it was 27 too many. "We need answers, and we need to not be losing young lives like this anymore," she said.
