The opposition leader, Sussan Ley, has appointed an interim Liberal-only shadow cabinet after the two parties split, giving the Nationals just over one week to come back to the table to reform the Coalition.

Ley has assigned the old Nationals portfolios to existing Liberal shadow ministers in an acting capacity for the upcoming sitting week, beginning Tuesday.
