“Support for #Australia’s ongoing ban on nuclear energy has risen sharply since #PeterDutton (Liberal) ☢️ made the issue a central plank of #Coalition #EnergyPolicy, according to the country’s largest independent survey on #ClimateChange and #energy.

Even among #people intending to vote #Liberal, support for #nuclear ☢️ power was not overwhelming, with only 53% in favour of the party’s intention to lift the #NationalBan if elected.”
