The rightwing lobby group Advance has launched a last-minute lobbying campaign to pressure Liberal MPs to dump a net zero emissions target at a special meeting in Canberra on Wednesday.

The campaign group emailed supporters on Tuesday afternoon urging them to flood the inboxes of Liberal MPs with a generic anti-net zero message in the hours leading up to the crunch talks.
