Opposition leader Peter Dutton challenged Chris Bowen on Monday afternoon after the Climate Change and Energy Minister claimed the Coalition’s nuclear policy would cost $387 billion. Mr Bowen came up with the $387 billion figure to account for all coal plants being replaced by nuclear. Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell said no one is suggesting replacing every coal plant with nuclear, stressing the Coalition only wants some plants. The Opposition leader called out the Climate Change Minister for being “unhinged”. “Peter Dutton opened the shoulders on Chris Bowen this afternoon,” Mr Clennell said.
