Dutton digging in the heels with his fake nuclear policy.
Dutton is damaged goods. I hope.
Don't like this China visa idea. No visa required for short visits. Just look at the protests over the weekend and tell me how that's going to go.
The biggest issues with Nuclear is that it would take many years for them to be built and that cost more than renewables. And the fact that the liberals don't like renewables.
Dutton doesn't want to reveal the cost - from what I have heard. It's at least 3 times more than renewables.

The sontaran in the human skin suit is trying to use the example of the nuclear plants here in Ontario as example.
dutton needs to do more research.
Those plants are 30+ years old and wear nearing the end of their life.
Instead they're undergoing re-furbishment to extend the life and that's a massive. One plant alone (with 4 generators) is going to cost $CA12.8bill - to update, not build.
Then there's the cost to build the SMR plants but didn't manage to find a pricetag for that project.
Construction is underway but first isn't due to be online until 2035.
And there's also one major different. There's experience in the construction and operating of nuclear plants. There's no such experience in Australia.
You can't trust a guy who says "Trust me."
Monday night's Media Watch looked the dutton's nuclear announcement and mentioned an article from Crikey that argue that the basis of this announcement was culture war.
The danger is adapting nuclear would have a detrimental impact on the renewals (solar, wind) sector which the lnp absolutely hate and that by pushing this approach they hope to kill it.

2025: "You don't need renewables, we'll have nuclear soon! Vote for us!"
2040: "Oh, we couldn't get nuclear to work. Oh well, better stick with coal/gas."
