The brink ??? 😂. She’s an ex-parrot… #auspol www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

The Nationals’ decision on net zero will push Sussan Ley’s leadership to the brink

It is now all but inevitable that the Liberal Party will also dump support for Australia to reach net zero emissions by 2050.

You could drive a bulldozer through the loopholes in Labor's EPBC reforms. Hardly surprising for laws written to protect corporate profits.
