Do I take it that the point of the whole post is that the Libs and Nats are kissing and making up?
The point of the original post? Just observing how bizarre Matt Canavanโs leadership victory speech was: www.youtube.com/shorts/ud34GCttids
Posted the pic of the pair of them just because both Coalition leaders are total clowns.
Libs and Nats already formally patched things up and reentered their coalition agreement in early February. I donโt know if Canavan is any better aligned with Angus Taylor than Littleproud was. Maybe in style? It hasnโt been been reported as positive or negative for the durability of the coalition agreement. I think, though, that his hard stance against climate action could cause disharmony in the Coalition when the Libs want to hold onto or win back seats from Teals.

I canโt remember where I heard it, maybe friendly jordies, maybe democracy sausage podcast. But someone said theyโd heard it was a trade for getting back together.
Conservative Liberals wanted some blood for the Nationals blowing the partnership twice in a year, and didnโt want to roll their own leader with the Nationals leader staying.
I donโt know how true that is, but I find it believable, since there was obvious anger from all sides of Liberals last month when the split happened. Long story short the โprogressiveโ/โwetsโ/โsoftโ Liberals get rolled by their own party for the Nationals again.
