The Australian National Party announced its withdrawal from the opposition coalition.

On the 22nd, David Littleproud, leader of the National Party of Australia, announced that the party will withdraw from the Liberal Party-National Party coalition. Littleproud said that the National Party "cannot be part of the shadow cabinet led by Susan Lee". It is reported that the National Party's withdrawal from the Liberal Party-National Party coalition this time stems from the disagreements between the two parties on the issue of anti-hate crime laws. During a Senate meeting on the 20th, Susan Lee reached a consensus with the leader of the ruling Labor Party, Anthony Albanese, who proposed the bill, while three National Party members voted against the relevant bill.
