Albanese resorts to ‘cartoonish scaremongering’ in nuclear power rebuttal

Sky News host Andrew Bolt says Prime Minister Anthony Albanese resorted to “cartoonish scaremongering” in a recent rebuttal against nuclear power.
“It is pretty pathetic, by the way, when the prime minister today resorts to cartoonish scaremongering against nuclear power,” Mr Bolt said.
“How utterly childish.
“Labor must really be out of arguments against nuclear power.
“Resorts to complete untruth, or should I say, lying.”

The Labour government is misappropriating hundreds of billions of dollars of taxpayers money and resources into uneconomical and unreliable renewable energy projects. The green carpet baggers are lining their pockets at everyone else’s expense. Several other countries including China, Indonesia and India are continuing to build coal fired power plants for cheap reliable energy.

The opposition to nuclear power in Australia can be summed up in five words: Three Mile Island, Chernobyl & Fukushima.

[@johnwoodrow8769]

Yep, you are right to raise these 3 high profile cases. These incidents clearly demonstrate the near impeccable safety record of well run and regulated nuclear power. Not a single person was injured in the Three Mile Island incident, and there is no evidence of any impact on the surrounding community or environment. All Chernobyl demonstrated was the perilous situation of the old soviet state. Every aspect of the incident, from the reactor design right through to the reason they were undertaking the ill fated test would simply not happen in the West. Fukushima likely wise just demonstrated the corruption and compliance that permeates Japanese society. Who on earth would allow critical safety aspects of a nuclear power plant to be built close to sea level in the most Sunami prone place on earth. Not only build it, but allow this obvious serious shortcoming to go unchallenged for years. NONE of these 3 incidents is a reflection of nuclear power, which has operated with a near perfect safety record for decades in modern Western nations.

See this is the disgusting problem with our politicians and I'm talking both sides here. Stephen Conroy has got it so wrong with calling matters of politicians spending tax payer money as frivolous. Are you kidding me? These politicians get special exemptions where they can claim their superannuation pensions early when they leave office and continue to work whilst getting that pension pay out. The are the ones who vote and set their wages. They also decide how much they get to tax us the workers of Australia so they can go on their self righteous spending sprees and hire their mates in bureaucratic roles. They get to travel the world free with their partners, kids and dogs and call these trips "work" when we all know they are doing jack sh1t during these trips that is at all related to work. The politicians spend most of their time at lunches and dinners getting drunk and eating expensive restaurant meals whilst claiming it all on the tax payer purse. they get allowances for living away from home arrangements which would eye water most tax payers and then stay with friends to save the allowance to buy an investment unit in most cases in Canberra like one famous past PM did (hint hint nudge nudge Malcom). I could go on and on and on how politicians today do nothing good for the public and are only there to serve themselves and their mates in the media. This is why not only in Australia but around the world the public absolutely hate politicians and get angry at the site of them. Just to give an example of the insanity of it all. If you are a normal office worker t5ravellling to and from work to the city you cannot even claim your train weekly ticket as a tax exemption even though the only god damn reason you are catching and paying for a twain ticket to the city is to go to work. How insane is that??????? The suit or shirt you wear for work as an office worker you cannot claim even if you never wear a suit outside of work? I mean I could go on and on with this insanity. This is what angers people. I'm not going to mention names, but at the school my 3 kids go to there is a politician and I see them regularly. This politician isn't just a back bencher but holds a significant portfolio. I can tell you now they have a lot of spare time on their hands. So don't F'n tell me these politicians work hard because they F'n don't!!!!! People are screaming NO MORE immigration. Lets get our own backyard in order before importing more students and uber drivers into the country and clogging our roads and public transport. But noooooooo the politicians and the media are tone deaf. Immigration is good when we are building things and we are sending those migrants directly into those infrastructure projects. We are not doing that anymore and all we are doing is filling up the Uber employment lines. Lets STOP this!!!! When was the last time a politician did anything decent for the majority of tax paying Australians? All they know how to do is spend out money with reckless abandonment without any checks and balances until they get voted out and then the other mob get in and do the same sh1t!
