Overnight With Michael Mclaren

Mike speaks with Matt Canavan, Nationals Senator for Queensland, about his push to end the Coalition’s commitment to net zero emissions by 2050. Canavan argues Australians have never voted for net zero and that the policy is crippling key industries such as urea, plastics, nickel, steel and aluminium—many surviving only on taxpayer subsidies. He says energy prices are soaring, reliability is collapsing, and Australia can no longer feed itself. According to Canavan, net zero is futile as major nations like China, the US, Britain, and New Zealand are either ignoring or retreating from the policy. He claims Labor is “selling out Australia” and that net zero is dragging down wages, driving up costs, and hurting families. His message is blunt: it’s time to just say no to net zero.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
