Peter Dutton’s first major promise when he became opposition leader was to build nuclear power plants.It was a curious idea with no cost attached and and without much community support, according to polling. Now, the Labor government has signalled it wants the next election to be fought on the viability of these plants, with the release of a new attack ad focusing on how expensive nuclear power would be.Beyond the cost, questions remain about the legality and safety of nuclear power in Australia.Today, emeritus professor and former head of the School of Science at Griffith University Ian Lowe fact checks Peter Dutton’s nuclear promise.Socials: Stay in touch with us on Twitter and InstagramGuest: Emeritus professor and former head of the School of Science at Griffith University Ian Lowe See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
