The Liberal Party has officially ditched its net zero commitment and handed the steering wheel to the Nationals. Matt Canavan was sent in as their leading negotiator and somehow convinced the Liberals to follow the two percent of Australians who voted for his party. It is the dog wagging the table and the Coalition is calling it strategy.
While the media obsesses over factional knife fights, the real story is that Australians are being robbed of a functioning opposition. A thousand-year mandate for Labor is not a joke when the Coalition decides climate science is a vibe that can be negotiated. And right on cue, the fossil fuel lobby and their media allies are flooding the airwaves with fresh disinformation.
From false claims about fossil fuel dominance to astroturfed campaigns against renewables, we break down what is really driving the Coalition’s meltdown and why the Nationals now have more influence than their vote count deserves.
In this episode, we unpack the numbers, the spin and the political self-destruction on full display.
