The Coalition is back together again after the Liberals and Nationals struck a deal over the weekend to end their second break-up in less than a year. But with a leadership battle looking more likely for Sussan Ley, are the Coalition's deep-seated issues any closer to being resolved? Guardian Australia's chief political correspondent Dan Jervis-Bardy speaks to Reged Ahmad about whether this reunion will stick – and what it all means for Ley.
A new opinion poll has support for the Coalition at a record low with Opposition Leader Sussan Ley the least popular leader in 23 years. The poll comes a day after she and Nationals leader David Littleproud brokered a deal to reunite the Liberal and National parties.
We officially launched the Ricki-Lee & Tim breakfast show on Nova 96.9 and honestly, we're still processing it. Tim laid down his rules for the show including his unhinged take on the sock-shoe situation—if you go sock shoe, sock shoe instead of sock sock, shoe shoe, he thinks you're nuts (and also don't buy chicken, apparently). Prime Minister Albo called in to wish us luck, confirmed Pauline Hanson will never be PM, roasted David Littleproud for looking like a hostage, and revealed his Valentine's Day plans. We dove into Glossy's breaking down all the Taylor Swift easter eggs hidden in her Opalite video because of course we did. Spun the Wheel for our first breakfast game—the Whisper Challenge—and now we're asking you: how do you reckon we went?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We kicked off the breakfast show by chatting with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who reassured us "you'll be fine" about the new gig. Sarah Harris jumped straight in asking if we'll ever see Pauline Hanson as PM... Albo's response was a hard no, adding "I don't think Pauline Hanson is the answer to anything." He also dropped an absolute gem saying David Littleproud "looks like a hostage," which had us in stitches. Ricki brought up the government's new women's health package covering contraceptives and endometriosis clinics, and Albo revealed his Valentine's Day plans because apparently running the country doesn't mean you skip romance.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
