Labor senators Raff Ciccone and Alex Gallacher say the ALP should reconsider its long-term opposition to nuclear energy at next month’s national conference amid vast support within the Coalition to lift a ban on the controversial fuel source.
Senator Ciccone, the convener of the Victorian Right faction, said there should be a debate on whether nuclear energy could be an option to help Australia lower its emissions, after The Australian revealed two-thirds of Coalition MPs back lifting the ban. “We have got to look at all options in the lead-up to the national conference,” he said.
