Dumping the net zero target will consign the Liberal Party to perpetual opposition, according to the Liberal who narrowly lost the Sydney seat of Bradfield to a teal candidate.<\/p>\n

Gisele Kapterian emailed shadow ministers ahead of a crunch meeting of the Liberal Party room at which the 2050 climate target is expected to be dumped in favour of a new emissions reduction pledge.<\/p>\n
