Peter Dutton doubles down on nuclear energy plans as he vows to override state bans

States opposed to building nuclear power plants will be overridden if he wins office, Peter Dutton says, after name-calling Prime Minister Anthony Albanese a "fraud" and a "child in a man's body" over the issue. The Opposition leader continued to promote his nuclear pledge to Liberal officials during an address to a meeting of the party's federal council on Saturday.

"He's more interested in appeasing the international climate lobby than sticking up for the interests of everyday Australians," Dutton said. Opposition frontbencher Paul Fletcher dismissed fears the nuclear policy could make metropolitan electorates harder to win at the next election, saying it demonstrated the party's commitment to achieving net zero by 2050.
