Shownotes Transcript

After weeks of chatter, the Coalition has started pushing their election sales pitch. The big ticket item? Peter Dutton wants to put seven nuclear power plants across Australia.

So where will the plants go? How much will they cost? What will the impact be? 

We unpack the Opposition's nuclear plan so far as well as the support and the pushback that's already coming from the community. 

Guest:

  • Steve Fordham, business owner
  • Johanna Bowyer, lead research analyst for Australian electricity, Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis
