Opposition leader expected to announce details of policy after party room meeting this morning; Dfat statement comes after premier Li Qiang completed four-day visit
Good morning and welcome to our rolling news coverage. I’m Martin Farrer and I’ve got some of the top overnight stories for you to get started before we move on to the mains. The biggest story of the day in Canberra promises to be the long-awaited unveiling of the details of the Coalition’s nuclear plan with a party room meeting called for 8.30 this morning in the wake of snap shadow cabinet meeting last night. Peter Dutton is then expected to announce the details later.
We reported this morning that Queensland is emerging as a potential future nuclear capital under the Coalition’s plans, with six or seven sites expected to be named as potential locations for nuclear reactors. More coming up. The Australian government has issued a strongly worded statement accusing China of “destabilising” behaviour in the South China Sea.
