EXCLUSIVE AUST 3 November

‘The Business Council will call on Australia’s political leaders to consider dropping a decades-long ideological ban on a nuclear industry to help decarbonise the economy, secure the nation’s security and prosperity, and take advantage of a resources stockpile that will power the recovery from Covid-19

“Off the back of the AUKUS deal, there’s enormous potential for Australian industry to develop new capabilities if only we would drop the ideology about not having a nuclear industry,” Ms Westacott will say in the John Monash Oration in Sydney. “Of course, I’m not talking necessarily about nuclear power, but all the adjacencies that having a nuclear capability bring, like nuclear medicine and complex electronics.”
