My policy for 30% of housing funding to be guaranteed to regional Aust is gaining momentum, showing how as an independent seat we can shift the dial & shape the national policy agenda. The Coalition is on board, announcing they'll quarantine 1/3 of their housing infrastructure fund for the regions.

Not going to post though the Coalition nuclear announcement and reaction today - plenty of stuff on Guardian Aus website and plenty to come today and in days ahead. But the central assumption that this could happen given hurdles that need to be cleared and evidence from elsewhere is… let’s say brave

"The Coalition's nuclear announcement is an absolute farce...it continues the Australian political tradition of completely ignoring the need to rein in bipartisan support for subsidised fossil fuel expansion."

It's time to go nuclear on the Coalition's stupidity
Any other party would be blasted for announcing this policy.

Peter Dutton claims building a nuclear power industry from scratch will bring power prices down. He says he'll deliver the first two nuclear plants within budget by 2035-37. It's a textbook example of political fraud. #CouldntBuildCarParks #auspol
Building nuclear power plants in Australia could cost double CSIRO predictions, energy experts warn
‘First-of-a-kind’ premium and doubts about costs coming down over time could bump nuclear power pricetag

This offshore wind farm could replace virtually all of Australia’s coal power stations.
It is evidence a minority state government can get on with the move away from coal, and that Labor and Liberal governments can work together to achieve real zero. #auspol

'You'd have to be squinting': Bass Strait wind farm zone pushed out to 30km
The federal government formally declares a wind farm zone in Bass Strait, which will be further offshore and smaller in size after taking onboard feedback from the community.
