Cracks in Liberal-National Coalition after election defeat
- Following the Coalition’s defeat in Saturday’s federal election, tensions have surfaced within the alliance, particularly involving disagreements between the Liberal Party and the Nationals.
- Tensions arose partly because Senator Davey likely lost her NSW Senate seat due to running on a joint Liberal-Nationals ticket that placed Nationals third on the ticket.
- The Liberal Party faced internal criticism for its energy policy and loss of key seats, while Nationals Senators called for greater independence and contesting suburban seats.
- Nationals Senator Matt Canavan acknowledged the party's failure to secure government but encouraged increasing the number of Nationals candidates and even proposed the possibility of ending the Coalition arrangement.
- These developments suggest a possible reconfiguration of Coalition dynamics, with the Nationals seeking a bigger role while the Liberals grapple with post-election strategy changes.
