The Liberal Party has issued a formal recall of its members of parliament for a special meeting next Wednesday to address the coalition’s long-delayed position on net zero climate targets, according to Sky News political reporter Trudy McIntosh, who obtained the whip’s memo sent to all coalition senators and MPs. Liberal Senator Sarah Henderson confirmed receiving notification of the meeting, telling Sky News the recall represents “very much breaking news” as the party works to resolve internal divisions before Parliament’s final sitting weeks.
The recall initiates what McIntosh described as “a tortured process” spanning multiple meetings over 10 days. Following Wednesday’s lunchtime party room discussion, the Liberal shadow ministry will formalize a position Thursday morning. Three Liberal and three National Party representatives will then attempt to reconcile their positions before a virtual joint party room meeting the following Sunday aimed at unifying the coalition’s stance.
The Nationals have already released their position through the Page Research Centre report “Delivering a High Energy Australia,” advocating rejection of net zero targets entirely. Henderson endorsed that approach, stating net zero “is causing enormous economic and environmental harm right across our country” through job losses and rising electricity costs. If the coalition reaches agreement, the final parliamentary sitting in late November will feature competing climate and energy policies ahead of an expected election campaign.
