Liberal Senator Alex Antic believes the party needs to abandon net zero if it wants to appeal to Australian voters in the future.

This comes after the Coalition won just 43 seats in the House of Representatives at the federal election compared to 93 for Labor, with two seats still in doubt.

“We have to drown out those voices of net zero, the voices of the Paris agreement, it’s all harmful for this country,” Antic told Sky News Australia.
