‘Gross misrepresentation’: Labor sources slam Chris Bowen’s nuclear transition figures

The Australian’s Chief Political Correspondent Geoff Chambers spoke to Labor sources who are calling Energy Minister Chris Bowen’s nuclear transition figures a “gross misrepresentation”, according to Sky News host Sharri Markson.

Mr Chambers sat down with Ms Markson to discuss the transition to nuclear, Mr Bowen’s figures, and polling results, which indicate the public is open to nuclear in an attempt to reduce emissions.

“Peter Dutton said at his press conference today, essentially Australia will not meet net zero emissions by 2050 without nuclear being in the mix,” he told Sky News host Sharri Markson.

“I spoke to a senior Labor source who described the numbers put out by Chris Bowen today.

“As a gross misrepresentation.”
