Dutton Nuclear Policy Testing
Mark Knight
At the beginning of the year Peter Dutton was Leader of the Opposition. However, after disastrous results for his party in the federal election, he lost not only his position but also his seat of Dickson to Ali France. In the election postmortem, one of Dutton’s most criticised policies was his support for nuclear power. Mark Knight riffs on this policy choice, and its supposed consequences, by referring to the award-winning 2023 biopic Oppenheimer.
