Grant King spoke about a ‘secret society’ working to overturn nuclear ban before being axed

Outgoing Climate Change Authority Chair Grant King had spoken about a “secret society” that was working on overturning the ban on nuclear before he was axed by the Energy Minister, according to Sky News host Sharri Markson. “It turns out, behind the scenes, Grant King had been advocating for nuclear energy,” she said. Ms Markson revealed footage of Mr King saying he was becoming frustrated by the energy debate and that nuclear should be part of the mix as there is no good and bad energy. “To Grant King, it doesn’t matter which energy methods are used as long as the emissions reduction targets are reached, but Labor has this illogical ideological opposition to nuclear,” she said. “Chris Bowen doesn’t want energy agnostic ... he is driven purely by ideology.”
