Why the Coalition breakup is 'weird'

Politics Now

About this episode

The Nationals have broken up with the Liberals, ending the Coalition agreement for the first time since 1987. But Nationals leader David Littleproud says he hopes they can get back together — before the next election that is.

So, will Liberal leader Sussan Ley have him back? Or does the split also offer opportunities for the Liberal party to rebuild and shift back to the "sensible centre" — or even potentially consider new "rainbow" coalitions.

Patricia Karvelas and David Speers  break it all down on Politics Now.
