Net Zero Must GO
The National Party has officially dumped Net Zero!
It’s the right thing to do – in the interest of our nation and all Australians.
Now the Liberal Party needs to dump Net Zero too.
And there are only good reasons to do exactly that.
There’s the economic argument.
Reaching Net Zero could cost a staggering $7 to $9 trillion dollars by 2060 – as estimated by independent experts.
Net Zero will devastate our economy and impoverish Australians – including our children and grandchildren.
Businesses are already closing, and manufacturers are already moving offshore, because Labor’s Net Zero agenda is causing energy prices to skyrocket across the economy.
Energy is the economy.
There’s the energy argument.
Labor’s overbuild of renewables to reach Net Zero – and enforcement of draconian emission reduction policies – are only going to cause power bills to continue to rise.
The government is replacing cheap ‘always-on’ power with expensive ‘sometimes-on’ power.
The Centre for Independent Studies has found that once a nation’s electricity grid exceeds 20-30 per cent of weather-dependent energy, the renewables energy ‘honeymoon period’ ends, and electricity prices increase substantially.
Australia’s grid is about 33 per cent wind and solar. And Chris Bowen is pushing for Australia’s grid to be 82 per cent renewables by 2030.
Whether it is re-wiring the nation with thousands of kilometres of transmission lines – or subsidising intermittent renewables to make renewables look competitive – you are paying, and will continue to pay the price for Labor’s reckless energy policies.
Chris Bowen is engaging in one of the biggest con jobs ever attempted on the Australian people.
There’s the environment argument.
Net Zero is seeing Labor carpet our landscape and coastline with industrial-scale solar and wind farms.
Just have a look at Rainforest Reserves Australia’s Renewable Energy Map to see the massive footprint of Labor’s reckless renewables rollout.
Aside from it adversely affecting regional and coastal communities – especially our farmers, fishers and tourism workers – the Net Zero and renewables-only agenda is not even remotely environmentally friendly.
There’s the emissions argument.
China, the United States, India and Russia are the top emitting countries and responsible for about 60 per cent of global emissions.
Their emissions are increasing – and there’s zero chance they will meet any Net Zero commitments.
Australia contributes just over 1 per cent of global emissions.
If Australia spared no expense to reach Net Zero – and committed economic suicide in the process – nothing we do will alter global temperatures one little bit.
Nationals leader, David Littleproud, suggested a better way would be to pin our emissions targets to the OECD average – about half the pace of Labor’s current economy-killing trajectory.
That seems much more sensible to me.
There’s the liberty argument.
Net Zero is an ideology that affects every part of your life.
It’s about the government dictating how you and your family should live, what you should drive and how fast you can drive, and what you should eat.
It’s about telling businesses how to operate.
It’s about restricting what our farmers can produce and what our manufacturers can make.
Net Zero is about reducing our freedom.
Labor and the Greens say those of us who are against Net Zero are out of touch – but they’re the ones who are out of touch.
They refuse to change course when energy costs are skyrocketing and hurting people across the country.
Senior Australians are having to choose between eating and heating.
Mums and dads are having to cut back on groceries because high energy costs haven’t just caused their power bills to rise, but the prices of groceries too – as it costs more to grow food and to refrigerate goods.
Small business owners, farmers, and manufacturers have seen their energy bills go up and up – and to stay afloat, they have no choice but to pass those costs on.
As long as Net Zero is on the books, living standards will keep going backwards, and Aussie families will be poorer.
That’s why I’m glad the Nationals have dumped Net Zero.
And it’s beyond time for the Liberal Party to join them.
It’s time to end the Net Zero nonsense.

Recall Andrew Thorburn. He lost his job not because he did anything wrong, but because a new worldview has quietly captured Australia's public square. The Australian Christian Freedom Index shows just how far that capture has gone.
Congratulations senator Jacinta N. Price for well researched many reasons why Australia should abandon Net Zero. Sky News on 11 November 2025 reported on Waratah’s “beyond repair ” of its giant one billion $ Super battery in NSW. In my opinion Net Zero is a giant, expensive con, but, how do we convince the young generation that it is destroying the environment, etc ? I suggest we leave the Paris Agreement asap.
At the same time as we’re experiencing high energy price because of this “net zero” racket, we’re selling off our coal to China so that they can burn it off in our place! I call that hypocrisy!
I know a guy who lives off the grid and uses solar and a small wind turbine to generate his power. A couple of years ago here in Victoria there was an extended period that saw cloud cover and very little wind for 3 minutes months. He had to run a diesel generator for the entire 3 months. All the turbines in the central Vic area sat useless and so did peoples solar panels for 3 months.
The other issue is the critical or rare earth minerals that are needed. Here in the Wimmera the Govt is going to forcibly take and allow the mining of these minerals destroying thousands upon thousands of acres of some of the most productive food bowl farmland in the state. There is nothing green about renewables, its smoke and mirrors. Where will all the batteties that wear out go from ev cars, the turbines that wear out and become useless land fill. The ocean floors are being ripped up for the minerals, farmland destroyed, forrests dozed, bird life affected. Its not green, its a con.
look at all those outspoken so called celebrities that jump on the bandwagon telling us to ditch using fossil fuel.
Gates, check out how many gas guzzling private jets he has and the size of his umpteen properties all sucking up power.
Harrison Ford was a some summit spouting off how we must change whilst he owns a private fleet of aircraft and often flies a chopper down the coast to get his favorite hamburgers. Leonardo De Caprio, flew in a gas guzzling jet to pick up an environmental award then later hired a rich Arabs super Yacht that uses more fuel per day than the average persons car does in a whole year. Gretta Thunberg had the captain of her yacht she supposedly went to the US on fly by jet to and from pick up points, she doesn’t exactly wear sackcloth either. Our PM and his minion Chris whatever, they do like their travel don’t they. Is there a week Mr Jetset Albanese isn’t flying somewhere on “fossil fuel” planes. They can as easily have their meetings if they “really care about the environment” via zoom and save all that nasty carbon footprint stuff.
No, its do as we say, not as we do blatant utter hypocrisy on steroids.
Do a search on when these great leaders telling us we have to suck it up, when they’re at places like Davos, and see how many hundreds of private jets go there, the extravaganza of food they eat, drinks and the first class accomodation they stay in. It truly staggering and very telling of where their hearts lay, in the trough feeding like pigs whilst they force poverty on everyone else.
Smoke and mirrors people, your being had big time.
Net Zero is misguided ideology verses common sense as Jacinta has clearly pointed out.
We, Dad & Mum Aussies, their children and grandchildren will pick up the Billions of dollars tab if it continues.
Nuclear is the answer.
please please… tell the government leadership… we are a hard working Aussie family. We pay our taxes but employment is not ongoing. From contract to casual work, we do our best. The cost of increasing prices is simply NOT fair. While the government gets a good guaranteed income and favour from big business they are selfish to make laws to suit themselves and benefit patented “Green products”. The Net Zero plan creates these laws and policies. It does NOT help or benefit ordinary Australians, even those with solar panels on their roofs. The costs out weigh any benefits. The cost is pain in families and disadvantages children because their parents or carers can not always afford the exorbitant costs passed onto US. The politicans need to realise Australians can only take soo much financial pain before they rise up in protest. The taxes are high. Politicans can set their futures up well but the future of our children looks bleak. Is our country still a democracy? Just wonder when politicans represent real Australians and make life more affordable?!
