The trillion-dollar company you’ve never heard of

Last week, the Coalition announced a new Nuclear energy policy - should it win the next election, Opposition Leader Peter Dutton says the coalition will plan to build seven nuclear power plants if it wins the next election, reversing a ban on nuclear power that has been in place in Australia since 1998.

This announcement has caused a big stir in Canberra, particularly amongst the current government. In today's podcast, we take a closer look at the Coalition's policy, the science behind nuclear energy, and how the Government has reacted to the latest chapter of Canberra's 'Climate Wars'.
