Mike is joined by Nick Cater, executive director of the Menzies Research Centre and columnist for The Australian, to discuss his recent article urging the Liberal Party to abandon its net-zero ambitions.
Cater recounts a shift in environmental policy, from Sussan Ley’s 2019 rejection of a Queensland wind farm—supported even by Greens’ Christine Milne—to recent moves by the Queensland LNP to block similar projects.
With global energy demands rising and political dynamics shifting, Cater argues it’s time for the Liberal Party to rethink costly and ineffective climate commitments.
