Ms Rinehart offered her support to the Coalition’s flagged proposal of nuclear energy transition during her keynote address at The Australian’s Bush Summit on Monday.

The back-and-forth then heated up as Mr Shorten mocked Mitchell’s inquiry calls and again tried to attack the Coalition. 3AW broadcaster Neil Mitchell frequently clashes with Mr Shorten during their regular Today Show appearance.
