Peter Dutton has grand ambitions to build seven nuclear reactors across – with at least two up and running by 2037.
The Opposition Leader is making his pitch to the public for ‘s nuclear future after ongoing pressure for him to release more details.
Lithgow and the Hunter Valley are the proposed NSW sites, Mount Murchison and Tarong in Queensland and Traralgon in Victoria. Mr Dutton proposes one site in South in Port Augusta, and another in Collie in WA.
Coalition MPs were briefed on the plan at 8.30am and details started to trickle out immediately afterwards, with hopes to have the first plant up and running by 2035 and the second just two years later.
Labor argues Mr Dutton’s plan amounts to a ‘stupendous act of economic self-sabotage’.
