The debate over nuclear energy in Australia intensifies as Opposition Leader Peter Dutton criticizes the Labor government's reliance on renewables, advocating for a nuclear-powered future. The CSIRO's nuclear energy costings report faces scrutiny from Dutton, who questions its integrity, prompting a defense from CSIRO's chief executive. Dutton's push for nuclear power is met with opposition, with concerns raised about the cost and timeline for implementation.
Bondi Partners Senior Advisor Peter McGauran has called on the Albanese government to “at least lift the legislation” banning the construction of a nuclear power plant because there is a “new generation” of small modular reactors. https://t.co/oPsXNTzHpk

Can someone explain why the CSIRO is being relied on for advice to government on Nuclear matters - and not @ANSTO ???? @adipaterson @OskaArcher @QuixoticQuant @mattjcan https://t.co/cpGb1cIGnS
Again weird the Government asked everyone - including the rent-seekers of various form - but no one asked the Government's own expert body @ANSTO https://t.co/3Jyyr5AizV
Nuclear energy is wrong for Australia; it’s the most expensive form of energy and will take far too long to build. The Government knows it. Our scientists and market operators know it. Business knows it. And the energy market themselves know it. The only ones who think nuclear… https://t.co/mJ8oA8dk4M

Reliance on the CSIRO on Nuclear matters is all very strange given the Australian Govt has a long established & renowned authority on Nuclear matters: @ANTSO … and esp as ANTSO built its new reactor in Lucas Heights in suburban Sydney in ~7 years. https://t.co/EZCZQjRbaS
Misinformation is not an alternate policy. Dutton’s blast of radioactive rhetoric on nuclear power leaves facts in the dust. #factsmatter #auspol https://t.co/nEfkddlE2A
ANALYSIS: If history had taken a different turn, Australia might now not be debating nuclear power but have had it up and running for decades, writes Michelle Grattan. https://t.co/EqTW1yf6Ov

The recent omission of large-scale nuclear from the CSIRO's energy costings report not only undermines our nation's ability to affordably reduce our emissions but further justifies the public's declining trust in government institutions. https://t.co/RtKMYfhen4
