Australia’s decades-long Liberal-National tie-up will end after the leader of the National Party, David Littleproud, said his party won’t form another coalition agreement with the Liberal Party.

Australia's Liberal-National coalition - currently the nation's main opposition political party - has split after a partnership lasting almost 80 years. The move marks a seismic change in the country's political landscape and comes just weeks after a federal election that saw Labor win a second term in a landslide victory.
