The Nationals state conference has also called for a future state government to give farmers the same “respect and consideration” as First Nations people on land use.
The state division of the National Party is holding its annual conference in Bendigo this weekend, and 40 motions are up for debate. The conference gives rank and file members a chance to help shape the party’s policies for the year ahead.
“We are not abandoning net-zero, but we do not support policies that rely solely on renewables,” Walsh told“We are technology agnostic as Victoria moves to net-zero by 2050. Whether nuclear is part of the energy mix is a discussion, the National Party is up for.
The second motion – which passed unamended – was put forward by the Gippsland-based Monash branch and urged “state and federal governments, their departments and agencies, not to fund Welcome to Country ceremonies”. “On one side you have First Peoples reaching out with an invitation, we’re wanting to share and celebrate our cultures and languages with everyone, and on the other side you have his National Party trying to disregard 60,000 years of custodianship and cling to narrow-minded, colonial views,” Murray told“It’s difficult to believe in 2024 we’re having to explain the significance of Welcome to Country ceremonies, what is ultimately a gesture of respect from traditional owners.
