What is Kate's stance on nuclear energy?

Answer

Community feedback and consultation indicate nuclear energy is too expensive, too slow to develop, and not the best solution for achieving net zero by 2050. Experts in the sector largely agree that nuclear does not pass the economic or technological feasibility test.

Mr. Dutton's nuclear plan is a direct attack on the thousands of families in Gilmore who've invested in rooftop solar to lower their power bills and take control of their electricity. His scheme would force them to pay more in their bills to cover the costs of power stations built by multinational corporations.
