Sky News host Peta Credlin says NSW Deputy Premier John Barilaro should prove the National Party is not just a “toothless sub-faction of the Libs” and tell the Premier that either the “nuclear ban ends or the Coalition does”.

As One Nation’s Mark Latham prepares to introduce a bill into the NSW Parliament to end the ban on uranium mining in the state, Premier Gladys Berejiklian has indicated the government does not need to respond to the bill until September. Ms Credlin said Mr Barilaro is a “rare voice of sanity” as he thinks it is “mad commit to net-zero-emissions by 2050; especially without a plan to get there”, but it is government policy to achieve this target.

“What's the point of being deputy premier if you're often effectively in opposition inside your own government?” said Ms Credlin. The Latham bill – against the wishes of the premier – will most likely be put to the floor of parliament this month, and the deputy premier should use this chance to “drive the sort of sensible changes to energy policy, that they have often talked about but rarely been able to deliver”.

Peta, I totally agree with you. A coalition is a 2 way not not my way or the highway. Have lost all confidence in Libs. especially with their cost shifting by privatising resulting in increased costs for the population.

Credlin once again demonstrating her 'smarts': The ban on nuclear power generation is in commonwealth legislation. Disbanding the coalition will give Labor victory at the next elextion.

So you want to change to nuclear to reduce the cost of energy to the consumer?

Johno seems to be all piss and wind, on any given day...

“nuclear ban ends or the Coalition does” What? Oh wait... I get it. Foxtel is going down and your trying to attract new customers from 'the left' with some... the Coalition is in turmoil fantasy stories. Won't work. The Coalition ARE in constant backstab mode since 2013.

Stop teasing us... the Coalition ends... Australia hasn't won the lottery yet...

I wish she’d Fukushima off.

You can see why Tony Abbott was a halfterm disaster with hot take Peta Credlin as his chief of staff, beside nuclear will never happen here (renewables are cheaper than coal which is cheaper than nuclear), the Nationals are toast without the coalition, just another fringe party.

Poor LURCH

Oh yeah, just what the farmers ordered! Nuclear waste dumps on their property

Neither could survive on their own, so yeah ,bite your nose to spite your face. Well done Peta.

This is extraordinary. FocusNewsNow vanOnselenP GuardianAus Politics_SMHAGE . They are now getting grumpy. Nuclear infrstructure would take 20 years. Ask an engineering TAFE teacher. Nuclear is a billionaire's dream. We need better media laws. AlboMP SenatorWong

I support this ultimatum and the downfall of the COALition.

NSW Deputy Premier John Barilaro backs bill to overturn nuclear power banDeputy Premier John Barilaro says the Nationals will support a bill put forward by One Nation MP Mark Latham overturning a ban on uranium mining that could pave the way for nuclear energy. Good for climate change A plan to in Latham’s street is a great idea! Nuclear power is pointless now. It's great if we had it 20 years ago, but it takes up to 10 years to build a plant and is extremely expensive. Renewables are getting far more cost efficient by the day.
