US EditionAustralia's Opposition Coalition Falls Apart After Election Bloodbath
- On May 20, 2025, the National Party officially declared that it will not renew its formal partnership with the Liberal Party following the recent federal election in Australia.
- The split occurred due to disagreements over key policy support previously agreed upon, including nuclear power, telecommunications, and a $20 billion Regional Australia Future Fund.
- While the National Party retained all nine of its seats, the Liberal Party suffered a severe loss, holding 18 seats, which intensified tensions and led Nationals leader David Littleproud to refuse a new formal partnership.
- Littleproud stated the decision was made 'on principle' and emphasized four non-negotiable policies vital to the Nationals, adding that the parties would maintain good terms and ongoing collaboration against the Minns Labor Government.
- This marks only the fourth breach of the Coalition since its formation over 80 years ago and suggests a trial separation contingent on future electoral dynamics and Liberal Party leadership rebuilding efforts.
