Shadow Climate Change and Energy Minister Ted O’Brien discussed plans for “advanced nuclear technologies”.
This follows questions about the coalition’s policy on nuclear power ahead of the budget.
Mr O’Brien told Sky News Australia that whilst pushing for nuclear power, he maintains an “all of the above approach”.
He advocated for a “balanced mix of technologies”.
“We need renewables, we need gas and as coal retires from the system, we believe we should be introducing zero-emissions nuclear energy.”
