Every week politicians debate about Australia's energy security and what that looks like. But there is one thing they can't argue about and that's the rising cost of our power bills. @AlboMP @PeterDutton_MP #auspol #NSWpol #energy https://t.co/1Hr3DmhRZh

Can #nuclear and ag co-exist? Well @NSWFarmers thinks so after passing a motion at its annual conference to support the location of nuclear power plants at existing coal-fired power sites. #energy #auspol #nswpol #agchatoz https://t.co/06AbH2lGqu
