‘Coalition’s much-vaunted nuclear modelling was - despite Peter Dutton’s insistence it was “independent” analysis - created by a pro-nuclear think tank with a cosy relationship w. Nuclear for Australia, a lobby group with links to the Liberal Party.’ crikey.com.au/2025/05/02/pet…

Wow. I posted this less that an hour ago and was inundated with responses from accounts created within the past two years and linked to @ShackelWill. Coordinated? I think so.
The pro-nuclear lobby is well funded and relationships to big $$ rather opaque. A

Whatever happens on election day, it’s certain that the Coalition’s promotion of nuclear power will cost it votes. It will probably cost the Coalition seats and may cost them the #election reneweconomy.com.au/nuclear-…

Late yesterday the Liberals buried this in their costings. Make sure you send this on to everyone you know.
Dutton is Trump Lite with all of the downside and none of that special Trumpy understanding of his electorate.
Spud's treated the voters like mugs.
The problem is, Aussies have been watching Trump treat his US voters like mugs, so we know it when we now see it from Dutton.
A message from Kirilly Dutton:
Above all else, Peter is a listener. Whether he is with family, friends, residents in Dickson, or the many Australians he meets as a parliamentarian, he is attentive and curious.
He isn’t one of those politicians who speaks over people or tells people how it is. He asks questions. He wants to hear other people’s stories and perspectives. And that’s what makes him attuned to the views and values of everyday Australians.
He started and ran a successful business. He has been an Assistant Treasurer. He knows what makes the economy tick. He has been part of Coalition governments that have cleaned up the economic mess they have inherited. And he will do it again.
Peter has held some of the toughest jobs in government as Home Affairs and Defence Minister.
He has made difficult but necessary decisions in our nation’s best interests.
Australians respect his strength of character. They know he is man who can bring certainty for our country amidst uncertain times. And while he is firm, he is fair and compassionate too.
From his time as a police officer through to today, he is driven by a desire to protect others and a clear sense of morality. He knows there is right and wrong, and good and evil, in the world.
Despite his roles and workload, he has always been a wonderful husband and a dedicated and present father to his children.
He has always prioritised time with myself and the kids and has endless time for his extended family – especially his nieces and nephews.
Peter is the prime minister we need for our times.
Aussies see the US as a global social experiment in what to avoid.
From gun laws, to COVID and public health, and now to Trumpism.
We thank Americans for taking one for the team. 🤣
All of this is straight out of the Trump 2.0 agenda to kill climate change research, to stop the transition to renewable energy, and to privilege fossil fuels.
Coalition’s final campaign act perfectly summarises their true anti-climate, pro fossil fuel colours. Here’s hoping voters have paid attention reneweconomy.com.au/coalitio…

Cost of electricity from renewable sources is £38 to £44 per MWh. Estimated cost of the same electricity from #nuclear (at the new Hinkley Point C reactor) in 2025 is £150 per MWh.

Found him! 23 days. That’s how long @CharlotteGriev1 at The Age spent trying to track down and question Liberal candidate Zahid Safi.
Running for office without facing the public is standard Liberal political strategy apparently.
Has your local Liberal been in hiding? #auspol

EDF #nuclear France try to manage significant cost and time over-runs at Hinkley C and ramping proposed costs at planned Sizewell C.
Not a good look ...

Australia’s battery moment is here, but not everyone knows where to start.
We’ve created a new guide to help renters and homeowners cut through the noise, understand their options, and get more from their solar and storage.

A thread on flexible generation on Australia's NEM.
Historically, flexible gas & hydro generators have complemented less flexible coal, to ensure supply can meet demand.
In the future, flexible generation will be dominated by batteries & they'll be also used to firm PV & wind.

This giant battery is powering up ⚡
T️he huge renewable energy project in Collie is almost complete, and it'll be able to store power for up to 800,000 homes.
That's what Labor’s doing: delivering clean, affordable energy to cut power bills now.
Peter Dutton wants to put a nuclear reactor here instead. It’d drive power prices up and take 20 years to build.
We're not waiting decades, we’re getting on with the job of providing cheap clean energy now.
