Why is the Coalition breaking up?

In a surprise political development this week, the National Party announced it is splitting from its long-term partner, the Liberal Party, effectively ending the Coalition that has been a cornerstone of Australian politics for decades. This decision marks only the third time in the Coalition's 80-year history that the parties have formally separated. So what happens now? Who now makes up the Opposition? Does it just guarantee Labor will be elected again at the next election? We’ll answer all the questions in today’s episode.
