‘Ridiculous’: Big call on Coalition future
- On Tuesday, Opposition Leader Sussan Ley rejected claims she could be rolled as leader as ridiculous and offered to reunite the Coalition if Bridget McKenzie, Ross Cadell and Susan McDonald remain on the backbench until July.
- After the floor crossing, the Coalition formally split on January 22 when three Nationals senators resigned from the shadow cabinet, breaching the convention.
- Ley met Nationals leader David Littleproud on Monday evening and sent a letter with three non-negotiables, with both describing the talks as constructive and negotiations continuing in good faith.
- Parliament returned today with the Nationals relegated to the backbench and Question Time speaking opportunities reduced, while Ley warned she will appoint a full Liberal frontbench if no reconciliation occurs by Sunday.
- Despite efforts, Angus Taylor remains the focus of challenge talk after Andrew Hastie bowed out, with Littleproud insisting the return of three Nationals is a precondition for a reunion.
