Nationals Abandon Net Zero Policy
The National party has announced its decision to abandon the Net Zero policy, citing cheaper, better, and fairer ways to reduce emissions.
The Nationals will abandon Net Zero and take "an all-energy approach" - Jamie Chaffey, Federal Member for Parkes
According to Mr. Chaffey, the decision was made after the Nationals Federal Council voted "overwhelmingly" to drop the 2050 target. He criticized Labor's Net Zero plan, stating it is an impossible task that disproportionately affects regional Australians, who are already dealing with land use conflicts and other issues related to wind, solar, and battery projects.
