About this listen
Following a significant electoral defeat, the Liberal-National coalition in Australia, the primary opposition, has dissolved their long-standing partnership, marking a major shift in the country's political landscape. The National Party leader cited policy disagreements, particularly regarding climate and energy, as key factors in the decision not to renew the agreement. While the Liberal Party will serve as the sole opposition, the National Party leader expressed a hope for future reconciliation before the next election, although they are prepared to contest it independently. This split follows a period of negotiations and reflects tensions that have periodically affected the coalition over decades.
