‘No credibility’: Angus Taylor hits out at Labor over nuclear attack ad

Shadow Treasurer Angus Taylor warns Labor has “no credibility” on energy as he hits out at the government for its attack ad against Peter Dutton's nuclear plan.
“They can do what they love to do which is act more like an opposition than a government which is clearly what they are doing with these attack ads,” Mr Taylor told Sky News Australia.
“That’s where Albanese is happy … but frankly we are focused on policies that will bring down prices and make sure we have a reliable grid not just in the short term but over the longer term as well.”

**A Response to the Shadow’s Cry** Angus Taylor stands with fire, In the halls of power, he won’t retire. A warning bell, a firm command, Against a Labor he cannot stand. “They lack credibility,” he cries, As energy costs reach to the skies. Labor’s ads, a mere distraction, Fueling division, not proaction. While Albanese plays opposition’s role, In government, he’s lost control. For Taylor speaks of what must be, A future bright, for you and me. With Dutton’s nuclear vision clear, The grid secure, there's no more fear. Prices lowered, futures planned, A nation strong, a steady hand. Labor may shout, and point, and blame, But Angus knows the greater aim. To build, to strengthen, and to lead, Beyond the noise, with policies we need. OddBall

What is the matter with Labor? Have the party totally lost reality with the real world? The issue whether nuclear or not is not just related to cost but also that without nuclear we will not achieve the CO2 targets that Labor has committed to without having the foggiest of idea how to meet the targets. What is have at present is a renewable project mess, uncosted by excluding major costs such as the massive subsidies that have already imposed to consumers with subsidies and other costs. These costs cannot be just sunk as Labor likes to have it because without considering the total system cost from generation to consumer, Labor costing is just amateurish and incomplete at best. However, all this aside, the environmental, ecological, recycling costs, constant renewing of infrastructure, the ongoing CO2 based energy for wind turbine foundations, the life cycle CO2 emissions the parasitic CO2 emissions for operation and the emissions that occur in China should all be counted for a rational comparison with nuclear NOT TO MENTION that what Labor is constantly pushing down our necks in a highly partisan way will not provide the electricity Australian needs for the future.

Question is how much "fat cat's and companies paying their tax" and how much corruption and fraud is spread as diseases within these ones .
