Barnaby Joyce is holding Australia hostage

7am

About this episode

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has finally confirmed that he will be attending the United Nations climate conference in Glasgow in November.


Morrison is under pressure, both from voters and Australia’s international allies, to publicly support a commitment to net zero emissions by 2050. 


But his coalition partners, the Nationals, are yet to support the policy - and some in the minor party are pushing hard against it. 


Today, columnist for The Saturday Paper Paul Bongiorno on the Coalition’s war over net zero, and how Barnaby Joyce’s National party is holding the country’s future to ransom.


Guest: Columnist for The Saturday Paper, Paul Bongiorno
