'Takes too long and costs too much': Murray Watt on the Coalition's nuclear costings

The coalition has finally released their nuclear costings.

Their plan includes building seven nuclear power plants at a cost of $331 billion over 25 years which is significantly lower than Labor's renewables scheme.

The Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations Senator Murray Watt told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "The point here is that we can either rely on the figures provided by consultants who Peter Dutton and the Coalition have engaged, or we can rely on the independent science agencies of our country, like the CSIRO."

'They're not politicians, they've got no agenda, they just deal with the facts and they say that renewables is cheaper than nuclear," Senator Watt said.
