Former Nationals party leader Barnaby Joyce has warned about the far-reaching consequences of the net-zero agenda, saying it could rewire the economy and drive up taxes.

The comment was made after newly elected Nationals leader David Littleproud, who came from the moderate faction, pushed for a generational change in the conservative party by making achieving net-zero by 2050 as one of his “first priorities.”
