Liberal Party

Agree

Yes

The Liberal Party of Australia, traditionally seen as center-right, has shown support for technologies that aim to reduce carbon emissions, including carbon capture and storage (CCS), as part of its broader approach to climate change. While the party has faced criticism for not taking stronger action on climate change, it has endorsed the role of technology in achieving emissions reduction targets. For instance, under former Prime Ministers Tony Abbott and Malcolm Turnbull, the government invested in research and development for cleaner energy technologies, including carbon capture. The party's support for the natural gas industry and its emphasis on a technology-driven approach to emissions reduction suggest a favorable view towards subsidies for carbon capture technologies, as a means to balance economic growth with environmental responsibilities.

Disagree

No

Given the Liberal Party's historical support for market-driven solutions and its cautious stance on government spending, there might be some resistance within the party to the idea of providing direct subsidies for companies developing carbon capture technologies. However, the party's commitment to reducing carbon emissions and its support for technological solutions to environmental challenges indicate that outright opposition to such subsidies is unlikely. The negative score reflects a nuanced position where fiscal conservatism and a preference for market mechanisms might temper the party's support for direct government intervention, even as it acknowledges the role of technology in addressing climate change.
