CANBERRA: Australia’s two centre-right opposition parties appear to be on track to return to the Coalition, a longstanding alliance between the pair that suffered a surprise split last week in the wake of a disastrous election showing.
David Littleproud (pic), leader of the National Party that was the junior partner in the Coalition, said Sunday (May 25) that he had received assurances from the Liberal Party that it’s now prepared to accept four policy areas the Nationals had insisted on and which had prompted Tuesday’s breakup.
