Policy cells show only positions with an individually sourced public record (manifesto, press release, Hansard, or Parliamentary Budget Office costing). An empty cell means no sourced position is in the ledger yet — not that a party has no view, and not an editorial judgement of importance. A combined Coalition cell is a display convenience only: Liberal and Nationals remain separate parties and their original records remain available in the separate view and open data.

Coalition dumps Net Zero target

Position
Reuters: “Australia’s conservative Liberal Party on Thursday walked away from its policy to achieve net zero emissions by 2050… The announcement… aligns the Liberals with the National Party, their rural-based coalition partner.” ABC later reported: “The Liberals and Nationals have both decided to dump net zero.”
