Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has claimed his nuclear energy plan will cost a fraction of Labor's pursuit of renewable energy.
Mr Dutton has used a speech to the Liberal party federal council in Sydney to rally the party faithful around his policy, which would see a Coalition government put nuclear reactors on the sites of retired or soon to be retired coal fired power stations at Tarong and Callide in Queensland, Liddell and Mount Piper in New South Wales, Port August and South Australia, Loy Yang in Victoria and Muja in Western Australia.
But Assistant Climate Change and Energy Minister Jenny McAllister said Mr Dutton was making a baseless claim about the cost of Labor's policy."We listen to the experts and the Australian Energy Market Operator has costed what it will take to get us to 2050 and the number they have come with is $121 billion. If Mr Dutton has a number that is 10 times more than that he may wish to explain where he got it from," she said.
He warned of the dangers of a minority Labor government, saying people "could not afford three years of the madness of minority government, comprising Labor, the Teals and the Greens – do not forget the manic nature of the Rudd Gillard Rudd period.
