The upcoming winter session of parliament in Australia is set to become the focal point for a heated debate on the Coalition's recent announcement regarding plans for nuclear power plant sites. The discussion is expected to intensify as various stakeholders weigh in on the issue. When asked to outline Labor's energy policy, Tanya Plibersek emphasized the party's commitment to maximizing the use of cheaper and cleaner renewable energy sources within the grid. She noted that while their target is to achieve 82% renewable energy, they acknowledge that the remaining 18% will come from other sources. Plibersek also highlighted the role of gas in the transition towards greater renewable energy adoption, particularly up to the year 2050. Critics of the Coalition's nuclear energy proposal argue that the costs associated with the transition are being exaggerated.

The debate is expected to intensify as parliament convenes for its winter session.
