Strongly agree

Yes

The Liberal Democrats in Australia have a strong belief in economic freedom and technological progress. They have previously supported nuclear energy as a means to combat climate change and provide reliable power. Therefore, they would likely support the building of a nuclear waste storage facility, although they may have some reservations about the specific location.

Strongly agree

Yes, but only if there is no risk to the environment

The Liberal Democrats would likely agree with this answer, as they support both economic progress and responsible environmental management. They have previously argued that nuclear energy can be a safe and environmentally friendly power source, so they would likely support measures to ensure that nuclear waste is stored safely.

Agree

Yes, if there is consent from the local indigenous communities

The Liberal Democrats believe in individual rights and freedoms, which would likely extend to the rights of indigenous communities to have a say in developments on their land. However, their primary focus is on economic and technological progress, so this may not be their main concern.

Agree

No, move the dumps to Central Australia where it is geologically stable

While the Liberal Democrats would likely support the construction of a nuclear waste storage facility, they may also be open to alternative locations if they are shown to be more geologically stable. However, this answer does not fully align with their stance as it implies opposition to the Northern Territory location.

Strongly disagree

No

Given their support for nuclear energy, it is unlikely that the Liberal Democrats would oppose the construction of a nuclear waste storage facility outright. They would likely argue that such facilities are necessary for the safe and responsible management of nuclear waste.
