Peter Dutton Champions Nuclear Energy at Queensland LNP Convention

At the Queensland Liberal National Party's annual convention in Brisbane, Opposition Leader Peter Dutton and Nationals leader David Littleproud have strongly advocated for nuclear energy as part of Australia's future energy mix. Dutton is pushing forward with a nuclear policy, citing increased support for the energy option in Teal seats, despite the controversial nature of the topic. Littleproud criticized the reliance solely on renewable energy sources, calling it 'folly' and signaling an expectation for the Queensland LNP to eventually support nuclear energy. This marks a significant moment for the LNP, hosting their largest conference since 2012, and underscores a bold move towards discussing nuclear energy in Australia's political discourse.
