Barnaby Joyce and the Nationals are staying silent on the net zero emissions deal
The prospect of the Nationals signing up to net zero has been a subject of internal division within the coalition with concerns over how the transition would impact regional Australia.
However, Deputy Prime Minister Joyce admitted he was in support of the decision of the party room. He said quote “The decision was going to be made, either with us or without us. I believed it was best for regional Australia.”
The climate policy is expected to be revealed before Prime Minister Scott Morrison departs on Thursday for the climate summit in Glasgow.
