Sussan Ley describes herself as a moderate – a Liberal leader who wants to keep her party in the centre. But last week, after months of internal pressure, she led the Liberal Party to formally abandon its commitment to reach net zero emissions by 2050, a target first adopted under Scott Morrison, arguing that dropping it is the only way to deliver cheaper power bills. The decision has pleased conservatives inside her party – but it’s also raised questions about what Ley herself really believes on climate, and the future direction of the Liberal Party. Today, Sussan Ley on why the Coalition walked away from net zero – and whether she can hold her party together.
