Australia's Coalition is embroiled in a fierce internal battle over its commitment to net zero emissions by 2050. Senior Nationals, led by Barnaby Joyce and Michael McCormack, are pushing to abandon the target, arguing it is unrealistic and damaging to regional interests.
This rebellion has exposed deep divisions between the Nationals and the more moderate Liberals, putting new opposition leader Sussan Ley under intense pressure. The infighting threatens the unity of the Coalition and could undermine its credibility on climate policy.
The outcome of this dispute will shape Australia's climate direction and the future of the Coalition partnership.
