How did the Nationals' departure from the Coalition affect the Liberals' policy review process, and what are the potential consequences of this?

The Nationals' departure allows the Liberals to revisit policies previously blocked by the junior party, notably environmental reforms and supermarket divestiture. Support from key industry groups like the National Farmers' Federation and Minerals Council indicates a potential bipartisan approach to environmental reform. The reassessment of divestiture powers suggests the Liberals may favor alternative methods to address market imbalances.
