Leaders vow to hold line on nuclear after the election in third debate

“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.”
