This is a key point for me on Duttons hopeful loss, the big swing against him seems to mostly towards the independent, Ellie Smith. I don't know Ellie Smiths views, but I do think a turn towards independents away from majors is a very good sign for our democracy.

You can’t build a $118 billion nuclear plan without the people to build it. 👷🏼 Weld Australia has made it clear: we’re already short nearly 100,000 welders, and only 5,000 have the skills for nuclear-grade work. A third of them are about to retire. Peter Dutton’s nuclear plan
