Former prime minister Paul Keating has issued an explosive response to the opposition's nuclear plans, claiming they are a product of"manic denialism" and branding Peter Dutton a"charlatan."Former prime minister Paul Keating has issued an explosive response to the opposition's planned development of nuclear energy , claiming it was driven by"manic denialism" of climate change .
"In advocating this, Dutton continues his party's manic denialism, first articulated by Tony Abbott over a decade ago - turning his back on the most debated, most discussed problem of the Industrial Age - carbon and carbon sequestration. "Only the most wicked and cynical of individuals would foist such a blight on an earnest community like Australia. A community which fundamentally believes in truth and decency and which relies on its political systems to advance those ideals."
The Energy Minister also joined other critics of the plan in arguing nuclear would be prohibitively expensive, referencing blowouts overseas and the likely additional cost associated with the first development of a new technology.
