00:00We're here in Colley at the site of one of the nation's largest battery projects.
00:07It's almost complete, but the real reason we're here is the Prime Minister is keen to be seen here
00:13when his opponent, Peter Dutton, is not.
00:16This is one of the seven proposed sites for the Coalition's nuclear reactors.
00:22What will not happen here, of course, is a nuclear power station.
00:27We have Mr Dutton who refuses to visit this site, but he refuses to visit any of the sites.
00:36Any of the seven sites, he hasn't been near any of them.
00:39And you would think that there was radiation coming from these sites
00:44because he just won't come and won't talk about what his plans actually are.
00:49The power station behind me is scheduled to be decommissioned in 2027.
00:54Even the Coalition itself admits that would be the earliest one of its proposed reactors would be operational.
