The South Australian (SA) Liberal Party has defended the right to open debate after being labelled extremists for considering cancelling support towards net zero.

In a recent motion, the SA Liberal State Council voted and called on the Federal Parliamentary Liberal Party to “rescind their policy of net zero by 2050.”
