Shadow energy minister Ted O’Brien has continued his attacks on Chris Bowen and the government’s new “ute tax” as the minister dismisses the Coalition’s ambitious nuclear policy.
Chris Bowen, Ted O'Brien exchange brutal barbs over climate and energy as battle over nuclear and vehicle emissions heats up
He said Australia was “already a nuclear nation” and would not be starting its project of transitioning coal-fired power plant sites to nuclear energy reactors “from scratch”. “Nothing Chris Bowen says is true. He hasn't delivered on any one of his promises. And so I would just dismiss immediately any guarantee when it has a dollar figure against it that Chris Bowen says,” Mr O’Brien said.
“I mean, at the end of the day, if you are going to have Australians pay up to $25,000 more for their vehicles, that is a tax. He claimed vehicle efficiency standards across the world, pointing specifically to the United States, had not resulted in a sharp rise in the cost of larger cars. “Any big reform worth doing is subject to a scare campaign that's been the case for reforms in Australia over the last 40 years.”
