Right now, Peter Dutton and the Liberal Party are trying to sell Australians a dangerous fantasy. They want you to believe that nuclear power is a viable option for our country’s energy future. But let’s be clear—nuclear power is expensive, slow, dangerous, and completely unnecessary when we have cleaner, cheaper, and faster alternatives.

I’m proud to be part of a Labor government that is investing in real solutions—renewable energy backed by storage, a plan that will create good jobs, lower power bills, and cut emissions. 

The Liberals want to lock us into a costly and risky nuclear experiment, one that threatens our safety, our economy, and our path to net zero.

The facts are simple: Labor's renewable energy rollout is providing workers with well-paid secure jobs today.

The Liberals claim nuclear will bring down energy prices. The truth? The numbers just don’t stack up.

  • The world’s most expensive power source: Building a nuclear power plant costs billions of dollars. Just look at the Hinkley Point C reactor in the UK—it's blown out to $71 billion and is still not finished.
  • Takes decades, not years: Even if we started today, nuclear power wouldn’t be up and running until the 2040s or later. That’s too late to address the urgent need for affordable and clean energy.
  • Who pays? You do. Every nuclear project around the world has relied on huge government subsidies—meaning taxpayer dollars would be wasted propping up a dead-end industry.

The Economic Reality: Nuclear is a Money Pit

Join Me in Saying No to Nuclear

We need to stand up to this reckless plan. Join me in fighting for a clean, safe, and affordable energy future for Australia—one that works for people, not big corporations.

Labor has a real plan for Australia’s energy future. We’re investing in renewables, storage, and grid upgrades to bring down power prices, cut emissions, and create thousands of good, secure jobs. That’s the future Australia deserves—not an expensive, dangerous, and outdated nuclear pipe dream.

Dutton and the Liberals aren’t pushing nuclear because it’s good policy—they’re doing it because they have no real plan for Australia’s energy future. They’re stuck in the past, clinging to outdated, expensive, and dangerous technology because they refuse to embrace progress.

It’s time to ditch nuclear and back renewables. Let’s keep Australia powered by the sun, the wind, and the workers who will build the energy system of the future.
