The Victorian Nationals MP in a region earmarked for a nuclear reactor by Peter Dutton has failed to meet with key constituents and community groups despite calling for “conversation” on the issue.
Chester has not expressed a personal position on nuclear energy but has called for “a calm and rational conversation” based on “facts, technology and environmental science” rather than fear, politics and “media-driven hyperbole”. Several constituents have told Guardian Australia their attempts to raise concerns have been ignored.
