"The source of the costings is Frontier Economics, a Canberra consulting firm that has long helped the Coalition on energy policy and its attempts to delay climate action. Frontier’s most recent effort was an apparently voluntary costing of its version of Labor’s policies because the head of the firm was “irritated” about them. Entirely coincidentally, that costing is now the basis for Dutton’s claim that building an entirely new nuclear power industry from scratch is radically cheaper."
