7 nuclear power plants for Aus - go LNP!, page-218

Ironically it was the LNP who banned Nuclear Power in Australia when John Howard was in charge.

Why can't Australia build nuclear power plants?

"Legislation. Commonwealth legislation passed by the Howard government in 1998 prohibits nuclear power."

Nuclear power is prohibited in Australia, principally by two pieces of Federal legislation - the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act); and the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Act 1998 (ARPANS Act).
