One of the Liberal party’s two surviving inner-metropolitan MPs has warned voters see the Coalition as unserious on climate change, suggesting the opposition could lose more seats to Labor if it opposes policies for net zero by 2050.
Simon Kennedy, the member for the Sydney seat of Cook, previously held by Scott Morrison, told a closed-door meeting of Liberal and Nationals MPs at Parliament House that the Coalition should be “wedging” Labor on energy policy, not backsliding on efforts to cut carbon emissions.
