RATIONAL ABC Radio National & and ABC •.. X News 32m • g Dan Tehan, the Shadow Energy and Emissions Reduction minister, has two views on why the opposition's nuclear energy policy wasn't popular with voters at the last election. • LISTEN: https://ab.co/3WiVFdL "The first is that we fell foul to a pretty dishonest scare campaign by the Labor Party.
