Just returning to my favourite thing to happen today – Ted O’Brien and the Coalition admitting that yes, nuclear power would take a shit tonne of extra water to run by pretending it is the same thing as environmental buy backs from the Murray Darling scheme, Ted O’Brien and the Coalition have also admitted there that they have no idea what they are actually even proposing.

Incredible areas, 10/10.

“Given the nuclear technology for Australia is yet to be selected, this claim by Labor is completely flawed,” O’Brien says in his statement.

So what are those costings the Coalition is using to claim it won’t actually cost $500bn to get this plan up and running (not that it intends on making nuclear a reality but still – this is their argument).

So what did Frontier Economics cost then (the costings the Coalition are using) and if the nuclear technology for Australia is yet to be selected, how can the Coalition argue that it WON’T cost another $500bn?

God I love this job sometimes.
