Mining magnate and philanthropist Andrew Forrest has told a business breakfast in Perth that nuclear power is not the best energy option for Australia. Amongst other things, he questioned why taxpayers should fund nuclear power stations via the Coalition’s plans if the private sector is not willing to take on the "massive risk". The founder of Fortescue also warned that Australia’s iron ore industry is facing challenges such as the low grade and high impurities of Pilbara iron ore, as well as imminent competition from the higher-grade ore that will soon be produced in Africa.
