Greens Leader, Adam Bandt, commenting on the release of nuclear costings by the government, said today Peter Dutton’s exorbitant nuclear pipedream was a distraction from the urgent need to stop more coal and gas.
Mr Bandt said Peter Dutton’s advocacy of nuclear power was a dumb fantasy, but Labor pushing more coal and gas projects in the middle of a climate crisis is dangerous.
Quotes attributable to Greens Leader Adam Bandt MP:
“The Liberals are for nuclear, Labor is for more coal and gas and the Greens are for clean renewables.”
“Across the country, Labor wants to prop up dirty coal fired power stations, open new coal mines and frack for more gas in the middle of a climate crisis.
“Peter Dutton is living in nuclear fantasy land, but Labor’s reality of more coal and gas is dangerous.”
