Antinuclear

I would’ve led a very ‘aggressive campaign’ says Tim Wilson as he backs nuclear

Sumeyya Ilanbey, AFR, 7 May 25

Tim Wilson says he defied political gravity to wrest back the Melbourne electorate of Goldstein from teal independent MP Zoe Daniel in a victory speech in which he flagged an intention to return to the Liberal frontbench and backed nuclear energy.

As of Wednesday, Wilson had finished ahead of Daniel by 0.47 per cent – or 980 votes – on a two-candidate count and his lead was growing as more postal votes were counted…………………………………………………….

Wilson refused to be drawn on whether he had Liberal leadership aspirations or who he would back to lead the party that has been reduced to about 40 seats in the lower house. But he said there was a lot of work the opposition needed to do to rebuild.

While some of his colleagues have called for the Coalition to scrap nuclear energy as part of its policy offering, Wilson, a former minister for climate change and energy, said nuclear was part of “building the future industrial base of the country”. The comment drew loud cheers and applause from his supporters…………https://www.afr.com/politics/federal/triumphant-wilson-backs-nuclear-power-and-has-some-notes-for-dutton-20250507-p5lx7x
