Net zero the problem, not Ley’s leadership, say Liberals
Conservative members of the Liberal Party dismissed talk of a leadership challenge against Sussan Ley, emphasizing their goal to resolve internal divisions over climate policy.
After a tense week debating the future of their commitment to reach net zero emissions by 2050, Liberal MPs are set to return to Canberra next week for meetings aimed at settling their differences.
“Conservative Liberals have hosed down speculation of a challenge to Sussan Ley’s leadership, insisting they are focused on ending a split over climate policy.”
The ongoing dispute over climate commitments has continued to divide the party since the most recent election, prompting renewed discussions about how to unite around a consistent environmental stance.
