Labor won’t be able to run a ‘scare campaign’ against nuclear

Published 2024-07-06
Shadow Infrastructure and Transport Minister Bridget McKenzie says Labor was hoping to “run a scare campaign” on nuclear but isn’t going to be able to do that.

“We will be releasing costings in a timely fashion,” she told Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell.

“The reality is Labor’s renewables-only plan won’t work, and we need to be availing ourselves of our gas resources as our coal-fired generation comes offline over the next decade.”

    Bridget we live in dangerous times I wouldn’t back labor in a one horse race,
  • What i love most about this nuclear plan is that the energy under Dutton will be owned so to speak by us, the government, whereas the renewable energy is all owned by private corporations from overseas. We should never have sold of our power and water to overseas greedy corporations. Bring it all back to us.

    The NDIS should be permanently shut down.

    I all for nuclear but net zero can never be achieved Net zero = 0 can never happen
  • The ACCC is responsible for enforcing Australia's antitrust laws. However Coles, Woolies and Amazon seem to be monopolies. How did that happen while we had a highly-paid ACCC Commisioner ?
  • No need for nuclear, we have rich coal, lets stop wasting our money to re create the wheel
  • @beepboop205
    the removal of the cashless debit card and the deterioration of communities following this should be talked about 24x7.
  • Nuclear energy will sell it itself by its powers, realbility, economic benefits, as clean , jobs,jobs,jobs, profitability , simply common sense approach thinking, definitely 🇺🇸🐖❤️🤗🇦🇺💯🌎👍 12:11

    Corporations are now running the government and the voters come a dead last, as no one listens to them. Haven't you noticed this? Vote for minor parties like One Nation to stop the rot.

    So at times Labor's renewable energy scheme will run 100% on natural gas, which is a fossil fuel. Anyone else sees the problem with this?

    Labor just keep resorting to telling lies about everything, hopefully just like the referendum Australians see through their pathetic lies and vote against Labor again
