When the reality of the energy transition dawns on the Australian public, the Coalition will be able to get away with leaving the Paris Agreement.

Already a subscriber?“You can’t be too right too soon and win elections.” That quip from George Romney, governor of Michigan in the 1960s, is how many federal Coalition MPs feel about net zero.

But Coalition strategists were not at all displeased. The more time Bowen and Immigration Minister Andrew Giles spend on voters’ television screens, the happier Liberal and National MPs are. At the very least, the idea the Coalition requires teal-friendly policies “lacks context”, as the fact-checkers like to say. The Coalition has 55 seats, and it needs to win another 20 seats for Dutton to become prime minister. Winning back the six teal seats it lost in 2022 still leaves the Coalition a long way short of government.
