And what better ammunition to then allow your state parliamentary party mate to back such a plan than it not turning voters away in your home state at back-to-back elections. However, this came in the same Saturday speech in which the federal Opposition Leader said he would work respectfully and collaboratively with state premiers, but did not answer to them.These are essentially hypothetical threats about a hypothetical policy: the Coalition can’t or won’t answer even how much electricity it would create without work from a proposed nuclear agency.
