In a media release which was just sent out The Nationals have decided to part ways with the Liberal Party and end their federal Coalition. This does not affect the state based coalition. More details below 👇🏼
"During the last term of Parliament, The Nationals fought hard for a package of sensible and important policies that will benefit regional Australia and the future of our nation. These were adopted as Coalition policies and were strongly supported by local communities.
Following discussions with the Leader of the Liberal Party, we do not have the assurance we need that these policies will be honoured in a future Coalition Agreement.
The Nationals cannot in good conscience walk away from our commitments to regional Australia.
It is made without malice. When the Liberal Party is ready, our door will be open. We will always stand up for regional Australians and the policies that will take our nation forward."
