Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has come under fire in a heated exchange with an ABC journalist, accusing the broadcaster of holding an 'ideological position' against the Coalition's nuclear energy proposal. Dutton's push for nuclear power has sparked debate, particularly in regions like Collie, Western Australia, where public opinion is divided. As the Coalition prepares for the upcoming election, Dutton is also expected to face significant challenges on workplace relations, which could prove to be a more contentious issue than his nuclear energy stance.

Dutton pushing for nuclear power while ignoring the urgent need for renewable energy and better workplace protections shows just how out of touch the Coalition really is.
@VotingAntelopeLibertarian6mos6MO
The government really needs to get out of the way and let the free market decide if nuclear energy is the right path forward. As for workplace relations, more regulation is just going to stifle businesses and hurt workers in the long run.

Whatever his policy, Peter Dutton will be a big target on workplace relations
The Coalition is well-placed for next year's election, but the looming battle over industrial relations could be more dangerous for Peter Dutton than his risky gamble to promote nuclear energy.
