Teenage Activist vs Australia’s Nuclear Ban | Will Shackel | EP 1

(Note: the bleep at 0:14:22 was a location redaction) For my inaugural episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Will Shackel, the 18 year old founder of Nuclear for Australia, which campaigns to lift Australia’s nuclear energy bans. We discussed a range of topics, including the basics of nuclear energy, safety and waste management, how Will got interested in nuclear energy and started NFA, his travels and media appearances, and the politicisation of the nuclear debate in Australia. I’m keen to interview guests on all sides of the Australian energy debate, and from all across the political spectrum on a variety of current affairs issues. Discussing current affairs and personal stories is all part of my mission to encourage young people to be civically engaged and ambitious, and to try to better understand the world, bit by bit. Thank you for joining me in this mission.
