Time for Australia to have a conversation about nuclear energy

This is why the Coalition wants to put the Australian people at the centre of this national conversation.

Last Friday, I launched "Time to Talk Nuclear", which aims to include the Australian people in a national conversation about the possibility of advanced nuclear technology forming part of our future energy mix.

Members of the public are invited to complete a two-minute online survey at timetotalknuclear.com.au.

People's responses will drive further public engagement over coming months as we openly assess the benefits, concerns and outstanding questions on nuclear energy.

Participation from all interested Australians is welcome, and that includes Prime Minister Albanese, who would prefer this conversation not take place.

After reflecting on the pro-nuclear positions held by Whitlam and Hawke along with members of today's union movement, I wonder if the PM might open his mind to a mature discussion.
