Peter Dutton ‘can’t be trusted’: Assistant Defence Minister

Assistant Defence Minister Matt Thistlethwaite says Opposition leader Peter Dutton “can’t be trusted” because he “can’t deliver” on his nuclear policy commitment. Dutton is being criticised for delaying the release of his nuclear energy policy. The Coalition was set to unveil the full details of its nuclear plans before the May Budget. “The Opposition leader gave a commitment and if you can’t deliver on that commitment, then he can’t be trusted,” Mr Thistlethwaite told Sky News Australia. “They’ve been spruiking this policy for about 12 months now, and the Australian people have the right to know what this policy is all about, particularly where the Coalition are planning to situate these nuclear power plants.”
