  The opposition's first detailed policy costings show Peter Dutton is prepared to ditch traditional Coalition principles in chasing an election win.

The article from The Sydney Morning Herald discusses how Peter Dutton, the leader of the Liberal Party, has shifted away from traditional Liberal principles by promoting nuclear energy as a key policy. Previously, the Liberal Party under leaders like John Howard and Tony Abbott had been skeptical or outright opposed to nuclear power due to concerns over cost, safety, and public opposition. However, Dutton's recent advocacy for nuclear energy represents a significant departure, aiming to address climate change and energy security in a manner that contrasts with the party's historical stance. This pivot is seen as an attempt to differentiate the Coalition from Labor's renewable energy focus, despite internal and external criticisms regarding the feasibility and economic viability of nuclear power in Australia. The article highlights the internal party tensions and the broader political implications of this policy shift.
