Two years ago, few would have thought Peter Dutton would go to the next election without a 2030 climate target. So what’s changed?

    Who the fuck were they asking? It’s bloody obvious to me. He’s the hard right of the right-wing party. He’s never given a shit about climate, why would anyone think that would change?

      I guess we made the mistake of thinking he’d want to win government at some point.

        Genuinely, I don’t think anyone has any expectations he will. I think the Liberal Party installed him to be an effective attack dog in opposition, with the plan of replacing him before the 2028 election, because they’ve already written off 2025.
