In this episode of The Five Minute Advocate, Julie Macken revisits the nuclear power debate in Australia. She critiques former Prime Minister John Howard's 2006 plan to make Australia a nuclear hub, which failed due to high costs, safety issues, and community opposition.
Julie also takes aim at Peter Dutton's recent push for nuclear reactors, highlighting the lack of details and community consultation. She criticizes the media for giving Dutton's plan undue credibility and emphasizes that nuclear power is not a viable solution for Australia’s energy needs.
