GIPPSLAND MHR Darren Chester publicly cautioned his party against climate denial earlier this month, calling for “more boots and less suits” when it comes to climate action.
In an opinion piece submitted to the Herald Sun, Gippsland MHR Darren Chester warned the Nationals could “wave goodbye to the generation of voters who will shape the future of Australia” if the party continued its fixation on coal.
“Quite simply, the Nationals party room can’t be looking back wistfully at the 1950s as the good old days, when our communities are looking forward with optimism and purpose to a better future in 2050,” he wrote.
