Coalition's Peter Dutton Unveils Plan for Seven Nuclear Power Plants if Elected

Jun 18, 2024, 11:51 PM

Opposition Leader Peter Dutton is set to announce a major nuclear energy policy, proposing the construction of seven nuclear power plants across Australia if the Coalition wins the next election. The proposed sites include Gippsland in Victoria, Callide, Tarong, and Gladstone in Queensland, Port Augusta in South Australia, Collie in Western Australia, and the Hunter in New South Wales. This announcement follows a snap party room meeting where the proposal was signed off. The plan includes building two large-scale nuclear power stations by 2037. Dutton's proposal has already sparked controversy, with some critics labeling it as the 'dumbest policy ever put forward by a major political party.'
