The ‘messy couple’ that was the Coalition
Description
It’s the on-again, off-again political drama that has turned Australian politics into something resembling a soap opera.
For the second time in a year, the Liberal and National parties have split, rendering the coalition dead – again.
The break-up has once again thrown Sussan Ley’s leadership under the bus, shattered the opposition’s ability to challenge the government – and underscored deeper pressures from an ascendant One Nation.
Today, contributing editor of The New Daily Amy Remeikis, on the break-up, the fallout, and the ex sitting on the sidelines who can’t get enough of the spectacle.
