Nuclear Just Needs To Be Explained Better, Says The Few Liberal MPs Left Standing After Last Time They Did This

94 seats later, and the Federal Opposition is now deciding what and who were responsible for their 2025 Federal election bloodbath.

While most reasonable people can admit that calling Chinese-Australians spies – and demanding that women get paid less for working from home – isn’t really the best way to win over middle class voters, the Liberals still think that they went into the election with some good policies.

The problem was, just, communication. They didn’t communicate well enough that Nuclear power can be implemented without creating a Fukushima or Chernobyl disaster.

But can it be implemented by the same Australian government that struggled to even roll-out an online census in 2016. The same country where you can sometimes call 000 and the phone won’t even ring? The same country that took ten years to roll out a national broadband network that downgraded from fibre to the node to copper wire half way through.

Yes, it can. According to the Shadow Energy Minister Dan Tehan, who has just completed a nuclear facilities tour of the United States after nearly losing his regional Victorian electorate to a former Triple J announcer.

Mr Tehan says his US trip convinced him there is a “nuclear renaissance” underway in that country that the Liberal Party made the mistake of trying to emulate in the lead up to the 2025 Federal Election, before having their middle Australian base gutted by Labor – who are now making inroads into the bush as well.

“There is huge investment going into nuclear. There are huge developments that are taking place,” he said.

And the only way to convince Australians to have faith Nuclear is to use buzzwords that generate trust.

“given the use of AI, given the use of quantum, that they will continue to make rapid developments with nuclear technology.” said Tehan.

After briefing his colleagues about what he learned on his overseas jaunt, Mr Tehan said the Coalition would refine the policy it took to the election, and hope to fight the ‘disinformation’ that apparently hijacked their last attempts to pitch this stigmatised this technology that saw them lose so many seats that they now have nameless former backbenchers trying to sell it again.
