In a sign that all controversial areas of public policy are to be neutralised in the run up to the Australian election later this year, John Yellowcakes Howard has promised plebiscites for communities unlucky enough not to be selected for a nuclear reactor in their town.
Homer Simpson will be invited to provide technical advice and support about the benefits of nuclear power plants for communities.
Communities will be able to vote their support and those with the strongest support will be awarded the reactors.
Although this will not happen for about 20 years, Yellowcakes can have his nuclear cake and eat it.
Eat your heart out Kevin A Hospital for Every Town Rudd.
Tim has a more reasoned summary.
It is all very plausible. Years of feasibility studies, planning, design, financial highjinks... and the community selected gets to vote. I doubt it.
