“It turns out, behind the scenes, Grant King had been advocating for nuclear energy,” she said.

Ms Markson revealed footage of Mr King saying he was becoming frustrated by the energy debate and that nuclear should be part of the mix as there is no good and bad energy.

“To Grant King, it doesn’t matter which energy methods are used as long as the emissions reduction targets are reached, but Labor has this illogical ideological opposition to nuclear,” she said.

“Chris Bowen doesn’t want energy agnostic ... he is driven purely by ideology.”
