Part 9/12:
A significant part of this struggle is ideological. The Liberals have historically underperformed when they treat climate change as a moral or moralistic issue, rather than a contested policy debate. Past victories—such as the 2010, 2013, and 2019 elections—were driven by fierce fights over climate and energy policies. By framing these issues as economic and national security concerns, Joyce and his allies aim to catalyze the party’s revival.
