Good afternoon. The Nationals could backflip on their commitment to net zero emissions by 2050 if a push led by Barnaby Joyce at the party’s federal conference this weekend succeeds.
A motion submitted by Joyce’s federal electorate council in New England calls on the parliamentary party room to “abolish its policy of net zero by 2050” – a push that has alarmed moderate Liberals and is seen internally as an attempt to destabilise the leadership of David Littleproud.
