Prime Minister Anthony Albanese visited Cairns on Tuesday, as part of a tour of regional Queensland. He contended that Opposition leader Peter Dutton is not interested in capitalising on the job opportunities that will arise from the transition to net-zero emissions, arguing that he has a plan to stop investment in Australia rather than a plan for the future. Building seven nuclear power stations is a key element of the Coalition’s energy policy, and Dutton contends that nuclear power will be one-third of the current cost of electricity in Australia. He adds that Albanese is a "desperate prime minister" leading a "desperate government with no vision for the future". Dutton notes that Albanese has admitted that he has broken an election promise of a $275 reduction in households’ electricity bills by 2025.
