Protesters have rallied outside a Bush Summit in regional New South Wales where the Prime Minister is speaking, to voice their opposition to renewable energy projects.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's arrival at the Tamworth summit was met by protesters rallying against the development and consultation processes for renewable energy projects, including transmission lines on agricultural land.

Former deputy prime minister and Nationals Member for New England Barnaby Joyce said the protesters wanted their voices heard properly on renewable energy projects.

The Prime Minister announced long-term trials of drought-resistant farming practices would be funded as part of a $38-million federal government package.

The prime minister says the package will help future-proof farmers against climate change.

One of the protestors is holding a pro nuclear energy sign. But they are protesting power cables running through their sites, which will still be required with nuclear sites. Seems like a bit of fear mongering from the national party to pretend they care while they oversee farmland get destroyed for mines.
