Prime Minister Scott Morrison says bipartisan support would be needed for nuclear energy to be an option in the pathway to net zero emissions by 2050. “Right now, the Labor Party are totally opposed to it,” he told Sky News host Paul Murray. “I’m just not going to put Australia through the argument which doesn’t get us anywhere because the moratorium isn’t lifted. “And for the Labor Party to run around at the next election and get themselves elected on the basis of a scare campaign. That’s just what would happen.” Mr Morrison said he’s not prepared to hand the Labor Party “that sort of an opportunity”. “They’re opposed to it, they don’t ever want to consider it they say,” he said. “Unless there’s a bipartisan commitment to this, then it will be too difficult to proceed with at this point. “But we’ll see what happens down the track.”
