Peter Dutton in standoff with state Liberal leaders over federal Coalition’s nuclear plan

The state’s deputy opposition leader, Jarrod Bleijie, said debate was “many years” away and the party was focused on the cost of living in the immediate future. “As a nation, we shouldn’t be scared of having a rational discussion about nuclear energy, but that should not come at the expense of getting on with the urgent job in front of us,” he said.“The NSW Coalition is committed to working collaboratively with the commonwealth and federal Coalition on a forward-looking energy policy that will deliver energy security, alongside clean and reliable energy.”

Minns said a nuclear industry for domestic energy use was “so far-flung, so expensive, so beyond the outer limit of our immediate energy needs” that it was not sensible to be talking about it. Like its northern counterparts, the Victorian opposition has failed to endorse the federal Coalition’s nuclear plans.

The opposition leader, David Speirs, said “all options should be on the table in the pursuit of an affordable, reliable and clean energy future”.
