Antinuclear

Opposition’s nuclear policy must be based on facts

The Coalition’s stance on nuclear power and vehicles emissions standards has again demonstrated it is captive to the fossil fuel industry (“Labor’s low emission car plan stalls”, March 27). They are spoilers and have no commitment to real action on climate change. Labelling the new vehicle efficiency standard as a “ute tax” that will push up the cost of many models is the latest scare in the tradition of “electric vehicles will end the long weekend” and carbon pricing would result in the “$100 Sunday roast”. Who will it govern for, the fossil fuel industry or all Australians? For the good of the country and its own credibility and electability the Coalition needs to base its policy on evidence not exaggeration and misinformation.
