AFR Business Summit 2025
Partner and Head of Energy Kate Axup participated in a panel discussion at The Australian Financial Review Business Summit in March, joining industry leaders to explore the topic 'Energy Transition: the Trump 2.0 effect and its potential impact on Australia's 2030 climate goals and investment'.
Kate also shared her insights on the challenges of establishing a local nuclear industry, saying,
'The entire regulatory regime you need to set up to underpin nuclear energy – there are international conventions on nuclear third-party liability, a web of regulation that every country that has a nuclear energy industry has put in place, and we're absolutely nowhere on this'.
