Australians might not be ready for nuclear power, but deputy Nationals leader David Littleproud thinks it\u2019s a good idea.<\/p>\n

Nationals senator Sam McMahon is trying to overturn Australia\u2019s nuclear power ban through changes to a bill aimed at streamlining environmental approvals.<\/p>\n

While Mr Littleproud supports the idea behind it, he doesn\u2019t believe the public is ready.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to have a mature, broad conversation with the public taking into account the new technologies that exist,\u201d the agriculture minister told Sky News on Wednesday.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He said politicians needed to make the case for change to instil public confidence.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAt this juncture, I don\u2019t think we can give them that confidence,\u201d Mr Littleproud said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I think we shouldn\u2019t steer away from the fact of trying and putting in their mind what are the possibilities.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Senator McMahon has the support of upper house colleagues Matt Canavan and Susan McDonald in her nuclear push.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Northern Territory has almost a third of Australia\u2019s low-cost uranium deposits and being able to use it in our own country would provide benefits to many communities,\u201d the NT senator said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only realistic way to bring down carbon emissions in our nation is to use our natural resources and move down a nuclear path.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As is stands, the government is a vote short of getting its environmental approvals bill through the Senate.<\/p>\n

One Nation leader Pauline Hanson\u2019s party intends to provide two of the three votes needed.<\/p>\n

Centre Alliance senator Stirling Griff, and independents Rex Patrick and Jacqui Lambie, previously signalled their opposition to the changes.<\/p>\n

They argued an independent watchdog and tougher environment standards were required before other changes could be considered.<\/p>\n

Senator Lambie has also questioned why Australia doesn\u2019t replace coal-fired power with nuclear to achieve emissions reduction goals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
