Nationals leader David Littleproud easily saw off a token move to spill the party leadership on Monday. But he is now under immense pressure to reach a deal with Liberal leader Sussan Ley to put the Coalition together again.
Ley and Littleproud met on Monday evening. No agreement was reached but both sides described the discussion as “constructive” and said talks would continue.
Earlier Liberal frontbencher Dan Tehan flagged reunification as a top priority, proposing codifying the arrangements for future behaviour, with a mechanism to resolve disputes.
