Trade unions, conservationists, First Nations groups, church congregations and community organisations have launched a coordinated campaign against opposition leader Peter Dutton’s plan for nuclear reactors across Australia.
Forty-one groups have now signed a joint statement that they are “united in our support for real climate action through the clean energy transition and in our opposition to false nuclear promises”.
The statement accused the nuclear industry of “playing a spoiling role” in the transition to renewable energy and of undermining public support for cleaner sources.
