A senior Liberal, Andrew Hastie, has called for a reevaluation of the party’s commitment to net zero emissions by 2050, labeling it a “straitjacket,” amid tensions following a significant election loss. New party leader Sussan Ley indicated that all policies, including those related to nuclear energy, would be reviewed as negotiations with the Nationals continue, where some members oppose net zero. Meanwhile, Nationals leader David Littleproud confirmed a review of the party’s positions, emphasizing the need for a sensible energy mix amid growing economic concerns.
