Following a split between the Liberal and National parties, opposition leader Sussan Ley has announced an interim, Liberal-only shadow cabinet. This move comes with an ultimatum for the Nationals: they have eight days to reconcile with the Liberal party and reform the Coalition. Ley has temporarily assigned the Nationals' former portfolios to current Liberal shadow ministers. This acting arrangement will be in place for the upcoming parliamentary sitting week, beginning on Tuesday. The future of a unified opposition frontbench hinges on the Nationals' decision within the given timeframe.
