I wonder what Iwonder will make of this ?
Senator Canavan told a podcast in August that his party was "not serious" about nuclear power.
"Nuclear is not going to cut it. I mean, we're as guilty of this too — we're not serious. We're latching onto nuclear," Senator Canavan told the National Conservative Institute podcast.
"I fully support getting the ban, we've got a bill in the Senate to get rid of it. We should build some nuclear power stations. They'll help, they'll help our system.
"But we're latching on to it as a silver bullet, as a panacea because it fixes a political issue for us, that it's low-emission and it's reliable. But it ain't the cheapest form of power."
Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen leapt on the comments, saying it revealed a divide within the Coalition.
"I don't agree with much Matt Canavan says. But I do acknowledge he's honest on this occasion," Mr Bowen said.
"Canavan admits the Coalition is willing to impose higher costs on Australians with the most expensive form of energy just to 'fix a political problem' for Peter Dutton's divided party room."
The video emerged as Senator Canavan's colleague Keith Pitt announced he would not return to contest the federal election in 2025.
