"Retail and hospitality sectors were braced for an influx of nearly 800,000 visitors, yet initial observations suggest the reality may fall short of expectations." Lol yeah I commented about that a few days ago. Wishful thinking... 🤪

Argument 4 - It's too expensive. It's true nuclear has a high upfront capital cost but analysis shows that the long lifetime of plants & reduced grid complexity mean that nuclear can contribute to lower system costs, therefore helping to reduce energy costs.
Argument 3 - It's bad for people and the environment. Factcheck - nuclear is a proven source of safe, clean energy. Just take a look at the evidence, instead of the clipping of scary looking headlines. Find out more -weplanetaustralia.org/rethinknuclear…
Argument 2 - Australia has no nuclear industry so it will take too long. Factcheck - Wind & solar didn't exist in Australia either but we chose to invest because to achieve our goals. Numerous wind & solar projects have taken several yrs from announcement to commissioning.
Argument 1 - It's illegal. Factcheck - Marriage equality used to be illegal too but we changed the law because it was a stupid, unjust law. The government could easily change the law. Ask them to via this petition- act.weplanet.org/overturn-austr…
