Coalition collapses as Nationals break with Liberals

The Liberal-National Coalition has collapsed following a dispute over a freedom of speech bill, with National Party leader David Littleproud announcing the alliance cannot continue under Susan Lee's Liberal leadership. Three National senators resigned after voting against the bill, and when Lee accepted their resignations, the entire National Party ministry threatened to walk. Littleproud maintains the Coalition can only be restored if the three senators are reinstated, while both leaders face mounting pressure over their political futures.
