ELI5: As it contains the largest uranium supply in the world, why doesn't Australia use nuclear power rather than being heavily reliant on other sources?

It's a matter of politics mostly. There have been a few times in which nuclear power has been suggested, but of course the opposition uses this as ammo at election time. "Will you re-elect the party that wants to build NUCLEAR power stations next to YOUR HOME?" etc etc. Along with that comes the general ignorance about the safety and cleanliness of nuclear energy in comparison to other types. And back to politics again, the greens are of course, staunchly opposed.
