The Coalition has reunited after Sussan Ley brokered a deal with David Littleproud to bring the Liberals and Nationals back together for the second time since the May 2025 election.

Littleproud guaranteed there would be no further splits while he and Ley were in charge, after both leaders made significant concessions to end a messy and damaging period for the struggling conservative parties.
