1. Australia’s Prime Minister Albanese is
planning 8 nuclear power reactors. This includes 2 or 3 in the 2030s and 5 or 6 in the 2040s. The 8 reactors will mainly be mobile but land based when in port just
south of Perth. Each of these reactors will use 95+% bomb grade HEU. This is vastly more than 4%LEUin the normal land electricity reactors being proposed by Australia's Coalition Opposition Leader Peter Dutton. The Labor supported mobile nuclear reactors
may be more prone to nuclear disasters (if they collide with large ships and experience other accidents) than fully land based reactors. All this relates to the Labor supported AUKUS nuclear powered submarine program. It is currently
priced at only A$368 Billion but using the standard triple it
military inflation factor - over 25 years the cost will rise to A$1
Trillion, that is A$1,000,000,000,000.
2.The Albanese government is also planning High Level
(HEU) Nuclear Waste dump. This will probably be situated at the RAAF Woomera Range Complex in central Australia ie. on the Federal Government defence land promised by Albanese. Labor has already agreed to a High Level Nuclear Waste Dump because the AUKUS agreement stipulates Australia must dispose of
used submarine reactors and other HEU highly irradiated parts within Australia. US and UK HEU might also be permanently stored at Australia's future High Level Nuclear Waste dump. Albanese has also agreed to a low level (LEU) nuclear waste dump to be built around 2027 on naval defence land just south of Perth.
3. The Albanese Government has made a big thing of announcing possible future regulations of supermarkets but not yet achieved anything. The regulations first need to be passed by Parliament but Dutton says he won’t support passage because the proposal might not reduce prices for we consumers. This concerns making an Australia’s Food and Grocery Code of Conduct compulsory against supermarkets (Woolworths, Coles and Aldi). Supermarkets allegedly punish farmers who complain about the low prices supermarkets pay for farmers’ produce. Supermarkets allegedly do not pass these low prices onto we consumers. The proposal might not end any alleged price fixing by supermarkets. Also the earliest date the reform could go into effect would probably be 1 July 2025.
