 | A vote for the Coalition under Peter Dutton and the scandal ridden LNP parties raises serious concerns about Australia’s foreign policy and domestic priorities. Dutton’s leadership aligns closely with figures like Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump, particularly in their approaches to nationalism and security policies, which many view as divisive or exclusionary. |
His nuclear energy plan, announced in June 2024 with costings released in December 2024, is ambitious but faces significant challenges. Experts suggest the plan’s timeline (2035–2037 for operational reactors) is overly optimistic, with a more realistic start in the early 2040s, potentially 2044, due to regulatory, political, and technical hurdles meaning taxpayers would be heavily burdened for the next 19+ YEARS with no results. Cost estimates range from the Coalition’s $331 billion to critics’ projections of $600 billion to $1.4 trillion, accounting for construction overruns, decommissioning, waste management, and economic impacts like prolonged coal reliance.
Critics argue these policies, combined with Dutton’s rhetoric on immigration and security, would polarise Australia’s diverse society and would not serve the interests of a multicultural nation. The plan’s feasibility and alignment with Australia’s climate goals remain under scrutiny, with renewables offering a cheaper, faster alternative.
