Australia's Liberal-National Coalition, the country's main opposition, reunited on Sunday, more than two weeks after the centre-right partners split in a row over hate speech laws. The Coalition is back together and looking to the future, not to the past, Liberal Party leader Sussan Ley stated in Canberra alongside National Party leader David Littleproud. The split occurred on January 22 when the Nationals refused to support reforms following the tragic targeting of a Jewish festival at Bondi Beach in December, which left 15 people dead. Ley acknowledged the challenging period for their supporters and stated, We are here to provide scrutiny and leadership. Despite the heavy losses experienced by the Coalition in last year's elections, the leaders aim to solidify their alliance amid growing pressure from populist parties.
