Andrew 'Twiggy' Forrest, a prominent mining and clean energy magnate, has strongly criticized the Coalition and fossil fuel lobby for promoting nuclear energy as a delay tactic in the transition to a zero-emissions economy. Forrest has labeled the push for nuclear energy as 'bulldust' and a 'new lie,' emphasizing the need to shift to renewables. Despite increasing voter support for nuclear energy, Forrest remains steadfast in his opposition, dismissing claims that wind and solar farms would occupy prime agricultural land as 'absolute rubbish.' The mining billionaire's stance has sparked heated exchanges, including a fiery confrontation with Nationals MP Llew O’Brien, who called Forrest a 'charlatan' and a 'snake oil salesman.'
