THE Liberal candidate for Indi James Trenery has stood firm in fully supporting his party’s policy to build nuclear power stations if the Coalition wins government.

It comes after Liberals Against Nuclear launched an advertising campaign against the party’s plan to build nuclear power plants.

The group asserted that the party had gone silent on nuclear energy in its advertising, which the group said confirms the policy does not have internal party support.

Liberals Against Nuclear spokesperson Andrew Gregson said they avoid mentioning nuclear in their advertising because they know voters don't want it.

“If the party leadership knows this policy is unpopular enough to hide from voters, they should abandon it so they can win the election and put Peter Dutton in the Lodge,” Mr Gregson said.

Mr Trenery defended the policy and highlighted the high cost of energy and Labor's promise that Australians power bills would be $275 lower.

He said families and businesses are paying up to $1300 more than Labor promised.

"Australians now pay among the highest electricity prices in the world, far higher than nations which have nuclear in the mix," Mr Trenery said.

“Australia sits idle who other nations pledge to triple global nuclear capacity by 2050 and companies like Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Oracle pour billions into nuclear energy to power AI and data centers.”

He said under Anthony Albanese, Australia is now the only G20 nation not using nuclear energy or moving in that direction – “a global embarrassment caused by Labor's ideological obsession”.

“Labor's failure to even consider nuclear energy puts Australia at odds with its AUKUS allies, who are making nuclear a cornerstone of their energy, defence and climate strategies," Mr Trenery said.

“While countries like the US, UK, and Canada are leveraging nuclear to meet their net-zero targets and ensure energy security, Labor's ideological obstruction leaves Australia isolated, cut off from key global trends.”
