Original Note:
The $600b claim comes from the Smart Energy Council, a renewable energy lobby group with links to the Labor Party. The Coalition’s costing for their nuclear plan is $120b, to be funded as an investment (“off budget”) which doesn’t require cuts to budget items like Medicare. https://www.afr.com/politics/federal/the-600b-nuclear-claim-bedevilling-dutton-20250420-p5lt0k
