Shadow finance minister Jane Hume blames Albanese Government's rejection of nuclear on 'ideological belligerence', calls its ban on energy source 'illogical'
However, the government has repeatedly dismissed the opposition's arguments, claiming the technology is costly and unfeasible, and instead maintained its focus on rolling out new renewable energy projects as part of a rapid transition to net zero. "Essentially the decision is one about the energy mix, making sure we have a reliable energy but that we also have more affordable energy in the long-term as well as cleaner energy," she told Sky News Australia.
"The fact that Australia has not gone down this route is simply a matter of ideological belligerence. Labor's opposition to nuclear energy, which is to something as basic as lifting the moratorium, seems to be both illogical but also incoherent and inconsistent."
