Dutton’s $600 billion nuclear scheme – and you’ll pay for it. 

Nuclear

There’s a reason why Peter Dutton wants to cut the things Australians rely on the most – like Medicare. 

The money for his $600 billion nuclear power scheme has to come from somewhere. And he wants you to pay for it. 

Here’s what we know about Peter Dutton’s nuclear power scheme:

  • It will cost $600 billion to build – which means he has to make deep cuts to pay for it
  • It won’t start producing any energy until 2040 at the earliest 
  • It will only provide 4 per cent of Australia’s energy needs
  • It will push up power bills by as much as $1200 a year for families.

Peter Dutton’s nuclear power scheme will take longer to build, deliver less energy, and make power bills more expensive. 

And who will pay for Peter Dutton’s $600 billion nuclear reactors? You will. 

No private investor will touch them – so Peter Dutton will make you pay.

You won’t get any power for 20 years, but you’ll be paying the bill every day until then.
