Liberals recalled to parliament to thrash out net zero problem
Liberals face internal pressure to abandon 2050 net zero target as they finalize climate stance before joint meeting with Nationals after months of policy review.
- On Wednesday, Liberal MPs will return to parliament to thrash out their net zero position ahead of a remote joint meeting with the Nationals on November 16.
- After the Nationals rejected net zero last weekend, their MPs pushed to abandon the 2021 net zero commitment, forcing Liberals to accelerate energy and climate policy reviews after the Coalition’s election defeat in May.
- James Paterson warned that internal divisions are impeding opposition work, saying, `I think a bad government is getting away with bad policies that are hurting our country, because we have not yet answered those questions and we have not yet resolved those differences`.
- Shadow ministers will convene the next day to finalise what Sussan Ley, Liberal leader, takes to Nationals leader David Littleproud, while three Liberals and three Nationals will meet next week to harmonise policies.
- The dispute has put Ley’s leadership under pressure as the party's right flank dominates, pushing to abandon net zero by 2050 and focus on power prices, while moderates warn ditching net zero would be a red line.
