💨 Abstract

Australia's National Party announced it will not renew its coalition agreement with the Liberal Party following their electoral defeat. Led by David Littleproud, the Nationals cited policy disagreements over nuclear power and regional infrastructure funding. The Liberal Party is now led by Sussan Ley, elected after Opposition Leader Peter Dutton's loss. Meanwhile, centre-left Labor Party, under Anthony Albanese, secured a historic second term. The Nationals remain open to future talks but will sit independently in parliament.
