Australia should ‘back ourselves as a country’: David Littleproud calls for ‘cheap energy’
Nationals Leader David Littleproud says Australia should “back ourselves as a country” by using “reliable, cheap energy” like nuclear.
The latest Newspoll suggests voters are backing the Albanese government’s plans for renewable energy projects and sovereign manufacturing.“Even in The Australian poll where they’re trying to say that the Australian people have given a tick to Albanese’s plan about manufacturing solar panels, giving subsidies for that, the question goes to the heart of do they want manufacturing in this country,” Mr Littleproud told Sky News Australia.
“We all do, but how it’s sustainable isn’t through giving subsidies that the Australian taxpayer can only afford for a certain amount of time; it’s actually setting the fundamentals to underpin that, which is reliable cheap energy … which nuclear energy can provide the manufacturing sector. “There’s a clear difference between ourselves and Labor, and polls are showing that Australian people are more and more open to understanding that there is a technological solution.
