US EditionCoalition Split over After Little More than a Week
- The Liberal Party elected Sussan Ley as its new female leader on May 13, ending Peter Dutton's tenure and renewing the Coalition with the Nationals after a recent split.
- The leadership change followed a landslide election loss and internal negotiations, with the Nationals initially breaking from the Coalition before agreeing to rejoin under Ley and David Littleproud.
- Ley, previously deputy leader, won 29 votes over Angus Taylor's 25 and emphasized respect for modern Australia while focusing on emissions reduction and addressing the party's 'women problem.'

- The Coalition’s reformation secures frontline roles for key Nationals leaders but pressures on David Littleproud continue amid party disputes and leadership challenges.
