Election 2025 - Key Issues
The impending 2025 Federal election offers two stark choices for voters:
-
Continue playing our part in reducing global emissions and transition to a energy future based on our abundant renewable resources OR walk away from our legal obligations to the Paris Accord, forget about emissions reductions for 20 years and implement a nuclear energy strategy that is uncosted, untested and 20 years away from any (dubious) benefits.
-
Policies developed from data, science, dialogue and reasoning OR the Coalition's "post-truth" approach of Donald Trump - repeat lies often enough and forcefully enough and they become truths.
Our goal is to give you clear, objective, apolitical information so that you understand the pros and cons, costs, benefits and risks of the policies on offer.

Nuclear Energy
The Coalition's energy policy is:
-
centered on implementing nuclear energy ahead of renewables
-
continuing fossil fuel generation until nuclear arrives to deliver our net zero 2050 emissions goal
-
to build 7 nuclear power stations with the first to go online in 2035-37
