NSW Young Liberals' climate push puts them at odds with Morrison government

President says the party's young membership understands the risk if no climate change action is taken

The New South Wales division of the Young Liberals' push for a change in the government's climate policy was spurred on by a membership which understands the risk it faces if no action is taken, its president has said.

The NSW branch passed a motion at the Young Liberal council in early December calling for a "practical, market-based means" for Australia to cut emissions by 30% of Kyoto levels by 2030, and provide energy market certainty.
