Summary
Tensions are high in the Nationals as their leader, David Littleproud, faces internal conflicts over net zero policies, with Senator Matt Canavan challenging his deputy Kevin Hogan's claimed settlement on the issue. Canavan insists there’s no official party position yet, while Hogan maintains the party has already staked out a stance on achieving net zero by 2050. Canavan also hinted at seeking another debate to address the policy without leadership authority, as he lost his seat in the Senate.
