Former McKinsey consultant Simon Kennedy has openly backed his party's push to introduce nuclear power to the national energy grid, with the opposition preparing to announce up to six possible sites for nuclear plants.
When asked whether he would oppose a nuclear power reactor being built in the electorate of Cook, Mr Kennedy said locals were "comfortable" with the concept because there was already one positioned on its "doorstep" in Lucas Heights.
"People are comfortable with where Lucas Heights is, they've been comfortable with that concept," he said.
"I haven't heard any fear or worries about that at all."
Lucas Heights, which is located on the outskirts of the Sutherland Shire, is home to Australia's only nuclear reactor, which is not used to produce electricity.
