Broadcaster Michael McLaren says it is simply fear and ideology that is keeping Australia from using nuclear power.

Australia has 40 per cent of the world’s uranium reserves, and yet it is illegal to operate a nuclear reactor in the country. There are 450 nuclear power plants worldwide. “Even Joe Biden … and his Green New Deal is saying that small, modular, nuclear reactors have to be part of America’s future,” Mr McLaren told Sky News host Alan Jones.

“Even sleepy Joe gets it, and yet out here, as you said, we’ve got the world’s largest uranium mine at Olympic Dam. “Cory Bernardi knows better than most, South Australia could become one of the wealthiest jurisdictions in the world if they allowed nuclear energy and the safe storage of waste in the middle of nowhere in South Australia. “And yet for whatever reason - there’s no logic to it, it’s just fear and ideology - we don’t proceed.

and no money in it for union super funds. Albo uses Chernobyl as his example of the dangers, keep up Albo, without nuclear or HELE we are gonski

We dont want Nuclear. Use Solar or wave technology and lead the world that way instead of following suit with bad ideas. The Pacific is already full of Nuclear waste from Japan, we should learn lessons.

Go nuclear or go home.

Michael ... Read the fine print......its all about money. I don't care about ideology, the fear factor may bring out the Chernobyl cheer squad. The reality is electricity is already too expensive. Nuclear power will really hike up the price further.

‘Overbearing rules’ and a government ‘wanting more power’ inflicted on Victorians | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says Australians cannot accept the job losses, social chaos, suicides, poor medical care for other conditions, inhibited personal freedoms and mounting debt for future generations, without question, for any longer. \n\nOn Monday, Premier Daniel Andrews announced Victoria’s state of emergency will be extended for 12 months beyond the scheduled September 13 finish date.\n\nMr Andrews said a decision was yet to be made as to when the Victorian Parliament would sit to pass the bill, but it would be made “available at the appropriate time”.\n\nMr Kenny said what is being seen are “overbearing rules … (and) a government wanting more power for longer”. \n\n“The extent of overbearing rules in Victoria is just extraordinary and it is getting worse”. \n\nDiscussing the potential of a vaccine to combat the deadly virus, Mr Kenny said, “let's hope for the best, lets all hope a vaccine is developed as soon as possible, but we have to plan for the worst”. \n\nImage: Getty Chris Kenny doesn't speak for Australians, Rupert Murdoch is an American now. And Victorians are so thankful that Dan is their leader and not Chris Kenny... He's right and it's his side of politics...so why is he complaining?

Good luck Territorians, you may need it going forward 🤔 Well done Gunner. The anti labor campaign being run by the Murdoch media isn’t working. I am not sure if anyone gets this but due to the current financial crisis, we all need Liberals in power. We need to make money and recoup our debt ASAP! Kiss your arse good bye Labour.
