Opposition Leader Peter Dutton says the next election “will define the future and fate of this nation” just days after releasing the Coalition’s controversial nuclear energy policy. Follow updates here.
The fallout from the opposition’s proposed nuclear reactors is set to send Parliament House into meltdown, as the cost of living continues to dominate the political conversation. Both the Senate and the House or Representatives will sit from Monday to Thursday for the next two weeks as parliament embarks on its final fortnight before a mid-year break.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has called the proposition a “fantasy”, noting the opposition had not released many details nor announced how much it would cost. It would also squander the nation’s potential as Australia is well positioned to take advantage of resources like wind and solar, Albanese said. Plants would be built at Loy Yang in Victoria’s Gippsland region, Callide and Tarong in Queensland, Mount Piper at Lithgow in central west NSW and Liddell in NSW’s Hunter region.
