Antinuclear

Melbourne’s big nuclear debate was a blow to the nuclear industry

“Should Australia Embrace Nuclear Power?”  – The big debate at the Melbourne Town Hall, on March 4, – resulted in an audience  swing of opinion against nuclear power

A poll before the debate found an eight percent margin in favour of nuclear power. A poll taken immediately after the debate revealed a margin of 24 percent against nuclear power – 34 percent in favour, 58 percent against. This 32 percent turn-around was all the more striking given that the  pro-nuclear debating team included high-profile nuclear advocates Dr Ziggy Switkowski and Dr  James Hansen.
The video will be posted sometime soon at:

ABC TV will broadcast the debate on “Big Ideas’, possibly on 23rd March.
