Commentators have widely written off the opposition leader as awful. Voters, it seems, are warming to him.
If only we could power the nation off the clattering of keyboards since the Coalition announced its nuclear policy. The seemingly endlessly renewable resource of hysteria in this country could surely be harnessed. The only trouble, I suppose, is that it’s a high-emission source, leading to tracts of type, miles of misinformation and acres of assumptions being spewed into the atmosphere.
But now Dutton has released his nuclear strategy, he’s surely radioactive toast. Or so you’ll be told. By the very same hysteria that was certain that all Albanese had to do to secure success was to pray Dutton remained his opponent.Now, I’ll preface the following by saying the opposition’s chances of winning the next election are slim to zero. Australians like to grant a second term, unless their choice is removed by a party-room knifing.
Dutton is using the opportunity to position himself as a realist and a hard-head in a way that casts Labor, the Greens and even the most economically literate of teals as the opposite. Most other developed high-productivity countries around the world use nuclear as part of their energy mix, complementing renewable energy, to reduce their emissions while ensuring they have access to the energy they need.
