So here's an interesting thought. The Coalition have brought forward their nuclear policy launch because of the growing national support for it plus their own community polling of the 7 regions they plan to build a reactor in showing strong support too. Bowen has already said that the next election is a referendum on nuclear power. So while Labor is still favoured to win the next election (albeit likely in minority government), it can't be discounted that the Coalition can continue to build on their support as Labor kicks own goal after own goal and Chalmers will likely be found out to be the Emperor with No Clothes he is as inflation ticks up and stagflation hits the economy. So a win next year (or maybe this year if Albo sees the writing on the wall with the economy and goes early) is a possibility. So while a WA labor win is likely for the March state election, it would be a moot point if the Coalition wins Federally as they'd have to reverse their mining ban with a reactor planned in their backyard - it would be utterly comical to continue this ban and have uranium from neighbouring SA likely fueling WA reactors.
