“We are committed to nuclear not because it’s politically popular,” Mr Dutton said. “I haven’t committed to nuclear energy for votes. I committed to it because it’s in the best interests of our country.”
Mr Albanese said there was no-one willing to invest in nuclear power. “That’s the fact… This is a friendless policy because it doesn’t stand up.
“If nuclear stacked up, there’d be a queue of people saying, ‘we think this is a good idea, we’re prepare to invest our own dollars’.
“Instead, taxpayers are going to pay for it… It is a recipe to take us backwards.”
