Pugnacious Nelson ready to take a glove again - Opinion - smh.com.au
Most rabid is the backbench. One MP claims 70 per cent either does not believe in climate change or is plain sceptical. When Nelson first broke ranks with Coalition policy a month ago, he emboldened this group. They were quietly hostile last year when the party room was not consulted on the emissions trading scheme policy that Turnbull and John Howard took to the election.
"We were staring at an electoral abyss. We had to pretend we cared,' said one sceptic explaining why no one spoke out against the policy at the time.
They no longer feel constrained.
