Amy Remeikas analysis: what have we actually learned about the
Coalition's nuclear policy?

Will the Coalition release its costings before the election? They will make
"other announcements in due course".
So so far:
We don't know how much it would cost;
We don't know what reactors they would use; We don't know how they would purchase the privately owned coal
stations;
We don't know how they would overcome state objections;
We don't know where the waste would go;
We don't know how they plan on building two of the reactors within the
2035-37 timeline;
We don't know where the funding would come from; There has been no serious consultation with communities; and
There has been no serious research undertaken with the sites.
