Labor now shifting to 'serious arguments' about nuclear after unsuccessful 'scaremong

Centre for Independent Studies Director of Energy Research Aidan Morrison says Labor now has to shift to “serious arguments” regarding nuclear power. The Labor government has changed its tact on how it opposes nuclear power. “I think the Labor party has realised now that Australians aren’t very impressed about the old scaremongering and saying this is not safe,” Mr Morrison told Sky News Business Editor Ross Greenwood. “It’s been proven very very safe around the world. “So they’re having to shift to those serious arguments – those questions about costs. “The more that debate plays out, the more it becomes clear that the cost is quite competitive and really we’re only just discovering the true cost of the renewable energy rollout which is not proceeding anywhere like as fast or as cheaply as what has been planned.”
