Nationals Leader David Littleproud announces split from Coalition, criticising Sussan Ley’s leadership and approach to Labor’s legislation

In Short:
– Nationals Leader David Littleproud announced separation from the Coalition, citing Sussan Ley’s mismanagement of legislation.
– The entire Nationals frontbench resigned, refusing to serve under Ley’s leadership.

Nationals Leader David Littleproud announced his party’s decision to separate from the Coalition, citing mismanagement of Labor’s antisemitism legislation by Opposition Leader Sussan Ley.

He described the Coalition’s current position as “untenable” and stated that the party has chosen to “sit by ourselves.”Littleproud’s comments follow the resignation of the Nationals’ entire frontbench from the shadow cabinet. He indicated that Ley had ignored their resignations and expressed that they could not serve under her leadership.

Littleproud emphasised the breakdown in respect and decision-making within the Coalition, stating, “no one was prepared to serve in a Sussan Ley ministry.” He also noted opportunities for resolution were provided but ultimately disregarded by Ley.

The sentiment within the party was clear; they refuse to allow three of their senators to be scapegoated.

Future Coalition

Littleproud dismissed suggestions from former Prime Minister John Howard regarding party rules, asserting that making exceptions for the three dissenting senators would create issues.

He maintained that their action reflects the party’s values and commitment to integrity within their ranks.
