In what has been described as the most Nationals moment since Andrew Broad was forced to resign for spending thousands of tax-payer dollars on not even getting a root in New York, A group of Queensland LNP figures have this week publicly backed their of nuclear power in Australia.
Queensland MP Keith Pitt and his Senate colleague James McGrath are behind the push, on the same week that TV audiences around the world have nightmares about the horrific Chernobyl meltdown on 1986.
“I am not saying that there is a nuclear reactor coming to a shopping centre near you but we have to be able to investigate all options,”
The MP says nuclear energy has helped to reduce carbon emissions and power prices in Europe, while also being a reliable source of power, that doesn’t result in an entire Soviet city having to shoot every domestic pet they have and children being born with radiation-related deformities for several generations.
This comes as the highly-rated HBO programme approaches its final, and most traumatic, episode of the five-part miniseries which details the world’s worst nuclear catastrophe in the history of humankind in modern day Ukrainian city of Chernobyl.
Chernobyl the TV show documents the horrifying scale of the disaster, while also detailing how close the most Nuclear-savvy nation of the time was to permanently destroying agriculture in the entire European continent.
“Come on, lets give it a shot [haha]” says Nationals leader Michael McMormack.
“As a nation, we are definitely far more organised than the Russians and the Japanese”
However, Prime Minister Scott Morrison is yet to say anything different to the last two things he said on this issue. Which was 1. he doesn’t like Nuclear energy and 2. the Nationals should not be speaking in public without him standing next to them.
