Australia Opposition Groups Revive Alliance After Dramatic Split.

The article discusses the revival of the coalition between Australia's two main opposition parties, the National Party and the Liberal Party, after a previous split over an anti-hate speech law. This coalition, which has historically governed Australia for a significant portion of time since World War II, had weakened following a poor electoral performance last year, resulting in less than a third of seats in the lower house of parliament. The partnership initially collapsed due to disagreements following a terror attack and subsequent legislative actions by the Labor government, leading to internal conflicts within the National Party regarding freedom of speech. The reformation of the coalition aims to address declining popularity and reconnect with voters amidst competition from other political parties. [Extracted from the article]
