What are some of the key questions that remain about the Coalition's nuclear proposal?
Questions remain about the cost, type, output, and design of the reactors. There has been opposition from state premiers and from the owners of the proposed sites, who don't plan to sell.
What are the contradictions in the messaging from the opposition leader and the prime minister?
The opposition leader, Peter Dutton, claims the nuclear power plan would underpin local economies and energy security for another 80 to 100 years, while the prime minister, Anthony Albanese, claims the Coalition's idea has fallen apart within 24 hours.
