Mr Shackel’s push for lifting bans on nuclear power received applause from more than half of the ABC show’s audience.
“Now, Will appearing on the show … of course resulted in him getting an awful lot of hate on social media,” Mr Murray said.
“Why are we listening to this kid? Why is this kid even invited to have an opinion on this?
“They do remember their views on Greta Thunberg, right? That when Greta had something to say the world had to listen. But when this kid says something they don’t want to hear – he must not speak at all.”

Bowen and the granny better watch out because that 17 year old is smarter than the pair of them
-
Give the kid Bowens job. At least he knows what he’s talking about.
-
The Australian people need to decide this question and not woke activists in the government
-
Bowen has failed in every appointment he ever held held, why is he being given any credibility now ?
-
I worked on the northwest coast of Tasmania. The number of dead birds under wind turbines was something I'll never forget. Shameful
-
Bowen looks the fool yet again!!
-
Crisis Bowen is the Minister for Blackouts
-
Will Shakel's argument is clearly more compelling than Bowen's net zero zealotry.
-
Coal and gas is king regardless
-
This is what the referendum should have been about is it impacts everyone equally!
-
Pretty embarrassing. 17 year old has more intelligence than a federal minister.
-
kudos to that kid for being well-spoken and well-educated on the subject. It gives me hope that there are young adults out there who are able to see past the bullshit spun by the governments. This kid has a bright future. Stay uncorrupted and you could help lead Australia towards a better future than the one the Labor muppets want us in.

Prepare for Blackouts. And Vote No! Cheers. And peace to you. ✌🤠👍
-
Will is a young man not a kid, we totally support his initiative!
-
Bowen has zero qualifications in climate or energy and quite obvious the 17 year old outsmarts the clown Bowen hands down .
-
Nice to see a educated person on tv...Well done young man I would vote for U ...Smart, unlike the rest of them...
-
It could have been a 5 year old and Bowen would have still lost...
-
This 17 year old was obviously the most mature , logical thinker on the entire panel.
-
Wonderful to listen to common sense, logic, and someone so young that can stick it to Bowen!
-
Bowen is not the only one in the Labor party that is unhinged they all are and the last 15 months has been hell on earth for all Australians
