Coalition calls for local communities to have their say on nuclear energy.
The Coalition is demanding face to face hearings in communities earmarked to host zero-emissions nuclear power plants as part of the newly established parliamentary committee on nuclear energy. These communities deserve to be at the centre of this inquiry.
They have a proud history of powering the Australian economy and they understand the importance of ‘always on’ 24-7 baseload energy. Despite Labor stacking the deck of the committee with its own members and a narrowly scoped inquiry, the Coalition will participate in good faith but not without ground rules clearly understood.
