The Liberal–National Coalition

41 seats,
two party rooms.

The Liberal and National parties govern or oppose together under a written Coalition agreement, but stand separately (sometimes against each other in 'three-cornered' contests) and keep separate party rooms. In Queensland they merged into the LNP (2008), whose federal members sit with either party; the Country Liberal Party plays the same role in the NT. The Liberal leader leads the Coalition; the Nationals leader is deputy (Deputy Prime Minister in government).

20 May 2025 Nationals leave the Coalition after the 2025 election defeat (nuclear power, regional fund, supermarket divestiture)
28 May 2025 Coalition agreement renewed under Sussan Ley and David Littleproud
22 January 2026 Nationals quit again after three Nationals senators' shadow-ministry resignations over hate-speech laws were accepted
8 February 2026 Coalition reunited; shadow cabinet decisions can only be overturned by a joint party room
13 February 2026 Angus Taylor defeats Ley for the Liberal leadership
11 March 2026 Matt Canavan succeeds Littleproud as Nationals leader
