The Liberal–National Coalition, commonly known simply as the Coalition, is an alliance of centre-right political parties that forms one of the two major groupings in Victorian politics.[2] The two partners in the Coalition are the Liberal Party and the National Party (the latter previously known as the Country Party and the United Country Party).[a]
The Coalition's main opponent is the Australian Labor Party (ALP), which has been the dominant political party in Victoria since the 1999 state election.[6] The Coalition last governed Victoria between 2010 and 2014, and as of 2025, it serves as the opposition with Brad Battin as Liberal leader and Danny O'Brien as Nationals leader.[7]
