Summary

Peter Dutton has faced criticism for supposedly avoiding visits to the seven proposed nuclear sites, despite having visited nearby areas during his campaign. While he claims to support nuclear power and acknowledge it may not be politically popular, opposition leader Anthony Albanese accuses him of avoiding the sites altogether. Coalition members have made visits to various regions but have not focused on the nuclear reactors as part of their campaign efforts. Dutton has confirmed visiting Collie before but hasn't been to all seven proposed sites during the official campaign.
