Australia is being ‘hamstrung’ by current legislative restrictions on nuclear power

Global Nuclear Security Partners Australia’s Jasmin Diab says Australia is being “hamstrung” by current legislative restrictions on nuclear power.

“We’re delaying decisions by talking about things like cost when really what we need to be doing is removing the bans and having a good analysis about what works well in our energy mix,” she told Sky News host Chris Kenny.

“We need the right professionals to do that, and those professionals – a lot of them work for government agencies – they’re hamstrung and can’t get the data that they need to do the analysis.”
