Peter Dutton’s first major promise when he became opposition leader was to build nuclear power plants. It was a curious idea with no cost attached, and polling suggested it had little community support.

Today, journalist Marian Wilkinson joins with her investigation into the conservative charity group figures driving the opposition leader’s pivot to nuclear energy.  

Marian’s sharp reporting on the nuclear lobby only becomes more relevant with each day we inch closer to the next federal election. 

Please enjoy “Dutton’s nuclear power plants”, read by Marian Wilkinson and first published in The Monthly earlier this year.
