Key FactsNationals Abandon Net Zero, Propose New Emission Approach
Nov 2, 2025 · Reading time: ~45 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: theguardian.com
  • The Nationals unanimously voted to scrap their net zero target, focusing instead on emission goals aligned with other OECD countries.

  • Leader David Littleproud described current government energy policies as damaging regional Australia and advocated for cheaper, fairer emission reductions.

  • This move complicates coalition talks as the Liberals have yet to finalize their energy platform.

  • Plans include repealing the Climate Change Act and expanding fossil fuel project support through the Capacity Investment Scheme.
  • This abandoning of net zero abandons taxpayers, it abandons future generations, it abandons investments.
    — Sarah Hanson-Young, Greens senator, described the Nationals' policy as a disaster that will put Australian lives at risk.
