The leader of Australia’s right-wing One Nation party said two nuclear power reactors should be built on Australia’s east coast, but insisted the party’s policy is nothing like Liberal Party leader Peter Dutton’s failed push to build plants during his unsuccessful election campaign.

Campaigning in Victoria ahead of the November state election, Pauline Hanson went beyond One Nation’s published policy, which calls for the construction of one reactor, to be built at a site supported by community consultation.

“The reactors need to happen,” Hanson said. “But we need that diversity of power. Keep your coal-fired power stations going.”
