Nationals expected to ditch net zero
The Nationals are expected to abandon support for a net-zero target at a party room meeting.
A senior party source has told The Australian it will, instead, adopt a policy linking emissions targets to reductions made in other countries across the globe.
It’s the latest example of disunity within the Coalition.
The Liberals are divided between moderates wanting to retain a watered-down version of net zero and conservatives seeking to abandon it completely.
Discussing his party’s net zero meeting with Sky News, Liberal MP Andrew Wallace believes they need the opportunity to “get this policy right”.
