Australia: Liberal-National Coalition Reunite a Week After Split
- Australia's main conservative opposition parties, the Liberals and Nationals, agreed to reunite on Wednesday, ending a week-long split caused by policy disagreements.
- The brief split followed a landslide election defeat earlier this month, when policy differences on nuclear energy, regional issues, and supermarket competition caused tension.
- Leaders Sussan Ley and David Littleproud agreed to restore the coalition and announced they would soon present a combined shadow cabinet featuring members from both parties.
- Ley emphasized that collaboration brings out the best in their parties, while Littleproud committed to restoring their partnership with the goal of forming a coalition again before the upcoming election.
- This reunification restores a decades-long alliance vital for opposition unity and suggests a strategic focus on centrist policies to challenge the incumbent Labor government.
