Why the Coalition is fighting over net zero

Former Nationals leader Barnaby Joyce has this week introduced a bill to scrap Australia's legal commitment to reach net zero emissions by 2050. And that move has exposed deep divisions within the Coalition over their climate policy.

Joyce's push comes as Liberal branches in Western Australia and South Australia have voted to abandon net zero commitments.

This all comes against the backdrop of a visit from the UN’s top climate diplomat, who’s in the country urging Australian officials to set ambitious climate targets.
Today we're unpacking the debate over net zero and what this means for the Coalition's climate stance.
