You shouldn't cherry pick numbers like that to suit your argument. The 70% figure was clearly not gleaned from the same survey that proved that more than 50% of the Australian electorate are okay with nuclear, and it's rising. Taken at face value, these two figures should indicate that a decent portion of the electorate are okay with more than one low emissions energy option.

Also, any political damage acrrued by the Coalition's climate policy was effectively cleansed at the last election with the loss of several seats to the Teals. They can't really lose any more because they're sprouting nuclear, nothing significant at least. In fact, I could make an argument that some of the Teal gains will be reversed because the Coalition is talking about low emission energy options like nuclear rather than still beating on about coal, even if coal still plays a leading role in their vision.
