The Liberals Just Set Themselves on Fire Over Net Zero | The West Report

The Liberal Party has officially abandoned its net zero commitment and handed over the steering wheel to the National Party. Matt Canavan was sent in as chief negotiator and somehow persuaded the Liberals to follow suit with the two per cent of Australians who voted for his party. It is the dog that shakes the table and the Coalition calls this strategy.

While the media obsess over factional knife fights, the real story is that Australians have been left without a functioning opposition. Once the coalition decides climate science is an idea that can be negotiated, Labor’s millennial mandate is no joke. And right there, the fossil fuel lobby and their allies in the media are flooding the airwaves with new disinformation.

From false claims about the dominance of fossil fuels to astroturf campaigns against renewable energies, we explain what really triggered the Coalition’s collapse and why the National Party now has more influence than its vote numbers deserve.

In this episode, we unpack the numbers, spins, and political self-destruction on full display.
