Nationals leader David Littleproud confirmed the Coalition’s nuclear power plants will be in Nationals electorates after mounting speculation.
Nationals leader David Littleproud has provided the biggest hint yet on where the Coalition ’s nuclear power plants will be located if elected.
Mr Littleproud has dropped a hint on where the Coalition's nuclear power plants will be. Picture: NCA NewsWire / Martin Ollman “We've been very clear that they will be limited to where existing coal power stations are, so we don't need the extra 28,000 of transmission lines to plug the renewables in which tears up the food security and pushes up the food prices.
“We'll look you square in the eye and be honest and make sure that we change the culture in this country of why not to do things, to why do it and get on with the job and that's the culture and we'll be upfront and honest,” he said.The locations of nuclear sites allegedly stirred disagreement within the Coalition in April following reports from the Sydney Morning Herald of internal dispute.
The shadow agriculture minister denied there was tension within the Coalition at the time when questioned by Sky News’ Laura Jayes.“There may be a few try and make hay for their own personal gain,” Mr Littleproud said before Jayes asked whether that was indicative of tension.“Tension is when you don’t have a majority and there is a clear majority of our party room that wants nuclear power.”
