The party's annual convention voted down a motion calling on the Commonwealth to pull out of the Paris Climate Accord, after two former presidents warned against undermining the Prime Minister.
"This motion is really about just putting the knife into the Federal Government," immediate past president Bruce McIver said.
"They've agreed on it on our behalf, and I think if we don't believe we should vote this down today, we are doing them an injustice.”
