Liberal voters want the party to pursue more progressive policies and not spiral further into rightwing positions, according to a new poll that shows far more Australians back a net zero climate target than oppose it.

The latest Guardian Essential poll also shows Sussan Ley retains a slight edge as the most popular choice to lead the Coalition, slightly ahead of Andrew Hastie and Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price.
