What is the immediate impact of the earthquake near the proposed nuclear plant site on the Australian election campaign?

This event, however, is unlikely to significantly impact the ongoing election campaign's focus on energy policy, with less than two weeks until polling day. Both major parties are facing scrutiny over the costs and effects of their energy plans on household bills.
