Coalition in crisis: Liberal & National leaders speak out on historic split | 7NEWS
The Australian Coalition faces its most serious crisis in decades. In this exclusive episode of The Issue, host Tim Lester sits down with two Coalition veterans – former Nationals leader Michael McCormack and Liberal Senator Richard Colbeck – as they reveal what’s really happening behind the scenes.
With the Coalition splitting for the second time in nine months, both politicians offer rare insights into:
– The ultimatum that broke the partnership
– Whether Susan Ley can survive as Liberal leader
– David Littleproud’s controversial demands
– The impact of Barnaby Joyce joining One Nation
– Whether the Coalition can reunite before the next election
– What happens if they don’t
“To stay separated would be disastrous,” warns McCormack. “I’m not sure how we recover that at this point in time,” admits Colbeck.
As both parties prepare for crucial party room meetings, this conversation captures a pivotal moment in Australian political history.
