Majority of Liberals wanted net zero gone
The shadow ministry met for about three hours on Thursday morning to set the path forward, a day after Liberal MPs and senators converged on Canberra for a mammoth net-zero-themed party room meeting.

Each of the 49 members present on Wednesday was offered five minutes to speak on the topic, and while there was no formal vote, Liberals all agreed that there were more people opposed to the target than in favour.

See - this is a serious problem: As a result of the party's shoddy stance on climate, despite the electorate making it crystal clear they want this, they're listening internally the few members who were elected - and not all the members who failed to be elected.

How can the party look at the success of the Teal movement, which is essentially 'Liberals who care about climate', and not see the picture being painted? Surely you should look at all the seats you didn't win and ask "why?"

In fairness to Gina, I don’t think she owns a coal mine or gas plant, but your point is still valid. They aren’t doing this for the environment or the people.

Gina Rinehart’s oil and gas investments include private firms Warrego Energy in Western Australia and Senex Energy in Queensland

Na, she does. In her defense I think her investments aren't the causal driver behind her whacko beliefs, i think it's the contextual bubble she has always lived within.
