Net zero the problem, not Ley’s leadership, say Liberals

Net zero the problem, not Ley’s leadership, say Liberals

Conservative members of the Liberal Party have dismissed speculation about a possible challenge to Sussan Ley’s leadership. They emphasized their main goal is to heal internal divisions over climate policy.

The debate has centered on whether the party should continue supporting the goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2050, an issue that has stirred tension since the last election.

After a week of internal disagreements, Liberal MPs plan to return to Canberra next week for meetings focused on addressing these divisions and reuniting the party around a clearer strategy.

“The real issue is not leadership but finding consensus on the party’s climate direction,” one senior member stated.

Summary

The Liberal Party aims to resolve internal rifts over net zero emissions, reaffirming unity behind Sussan Ley’s leadership.
