The Coalition is in the middle of a major internal showdown over its climate policy, after the Nationals recently announced they were dumping their support for net zero. Yesterday, Liberal MPs gathered in Canberra to discuss whether the party should maintain its commitment to net zero by 2050. Those talks will inform the Shadow Cabinet’s next decision, as it meets today to determine the party’s position. But it’s a joint meeting with the Nationals on Sunday where the Coalition's final stance on net zero will be hashed out. Today, we’ll bring you up to speed on what’s going on, and what it means for Australia’s future climate goals.
