Survivor advocate Michelle Milthorpe has been endorsed by the Voices of Farrer Group.

Ms Milthorpe will contest the seat of Farrer, long held by incumbent Sussan Ley.

Member for Farrer Sussan Ley has backed the call for nuclear power in Australia.

On a recent visit to Hay the federal member and deputy leader of the opposition said there needs to be an important discussion about nuclear energy production.

“I'm pro renewables because we all need to make the renewable energy transition,” Ms Ley told The Riverine Grazier.

“We need a genuine discussion about whether we should have a nuclear option, which I think is a really important discussion.”

Opinion: The Riverine Grazier’s Krista Schade discusses the rise of Voices movements across Australia, including the electorates of Ini and Farrer, s the country looks towards the next federal election.
