In short:

Liberal moderates are split on whether they can sell the party's "compromise" climate policy after the party signed off on a plan to ditch net zero by 2050 on Thursday.

While many Liberals who wanted to keep net zero say they are happy with the position the party has landed, some despondent moderates fear electoral oblivion in metropolitan seats.

What's next?

Opposition Leader Sussan Ley said she was confident the Liberals could win seats across Australia with this policy as Labor's approach to climate action was "not working".

I've said it before, and I still think it holds true. The Liberals have zero direction and will not be getting back into power within the next decade.
