Australia's Liberal-National Coalition, the country's main opposition, reunited on Sunday, more than two weeks after the centre-right partners split in a row over hate speech laws.
"The Coalition is back together and looking to the future, not to the past," Liberal Party leader Sussan Ley said, appearing alongside National Party leader David Littleproud in Canberra.
The Coalition split on 22 January after the Nationals, citing free speech concerns, refused to back reforms moved by the government after two gunmen targeted a Jewish festival at Bondi Beach in December, killing 15 people.
"It's been disappointing, we've got to where we are but it was over a substantive issue," Littleproud said.
The Coalition suffered a heavy election loss last year and the split last month was the second in less than 12 months.
