US EditionFederal Coalition Split May Be Shortlived | Evening News Bulletin 22 May 2025
- On Thursday, the heads of the National and Liberal parties met to postpone announcing an opposition frontbench and to start discussions aimed at preserving their coalition that has lasted for eight decades.
- The split followed National concerns that Liberals would not guarantee four Nationals' policy demands, and Ley refused to let Nationals openly oppose opposition policies, causing the Nationals to vote to fly solo.
- Ley committed to bringing the Liberal party room back together to consider whether to incorporate the Nationals' four policy demands into a shared platform should the Coalition be reformed before the 2028 election.
