About this episode
As the Albanese Government prepares to release its 2035 emissions reduction target, the Coalition's deep divisions on climate change have re-emerged.
Senior Liberal Andrew Hastie has threatened to quit — or be sacked — from the Opposition frontbench if the Coalition doesn't abandon the target. While fellow Coalition frontbencher Jonno Duniam is warning of a "mass exodus" if the party pursues the policy "at any cost."
On Politics Now, Brett Worthington and Raf Epstein discuss how the internal divisions put Opposition leader Sussan Ley in an "impossible situation" and serve as a test to her leadership.
