Liberal Senator Threatens Quit Over Net Zero Fatwa Drama
In a plot twist worthy of soap operas but starring Australian politics, Liberal frontbencher Andrew Bragg has thrown down a climate gauntlet so spicy it could melt the ice caps twice. He called the party's supposed 'fatwa' on the phrase 'net zero' utterly ridiculous and threatened to quit the frontbench if the Aussie Libs ghost the Paris climate agreement and ditch the 2050 net zero emissions target. This moderate senator is basically telling Opposition Leader Sussan Ley to pick a side before this week's make-or-break Coalition meetings. Forget Netflix drama; this weekâs party tensions promise more suspense than a cliffhanger in a telenovela.

Andrew Bragg wants out if Liberals kick 'net zero' to the curbâbecause apparently, climate betrayal is the new political cliffhanger and quitting the frontbench is the ultimate mic drop.
When your party bans 'net zero' like it's a Voldemort-level curse, you know politics has officially become a fantasy novel with worse plot armor.
Andrew Braggâs quitting ultimatum over net zero sounds like that moment your friend ditches dinner because you ordered kale instead of friesâexcept the planet's at stake.
