Another four incidents at the base in 2023, and one in 2024, were given the second worst rating. The number in 2023 was the highest since 2006."

@cheryanne @coffee2Di4 They will be in govt again one day, & they will do it because the main game in Australia for fossil fuels is the exports so they will be able to extract more from our public purse from nuclear just like they are doing with . They will put it off as long as possible of course for their fossil fuel donors but those right wingers are the same people who want nuke weapons & a domestic nuke industry to sponge donations off, as well as established fossil fuel industry

@sortius
That's why I say to take absolutely seriously Dutton's and LNP's nuclear talk. The main game isn't Australia's domestic emissions, but what we export, so LNP would definitely wreck our energy infrastructure with drawn out nuclear plans looting and plundering along the way while remaining on fossil fuel plants that are running down. ALP would obviously just come back into power later and pick up and run with LNP's nuclear policy like they did with LNP's plan.
