Peter Dutton, the Liberal party leader, also lost his own seat of Dickson, which he had held for the past 24 years.

"I think it's quite funny, that he slipped as much as he did," she says. "And I can't tell you why."Australia's conservative Liberal-National coalition - the nation's main opposition political party - has split after a partnership lasting almost 80 years.

The move marks a seismic change in the country's political landscape and comes just weeks after a federal election that saw Labor win a second term in a landslide victory.Nationals leader David Littleproud on Tuesday said his party was not re-entering a coalition agreement, amid policy disagreements with the Liberal Party as it goes on a journey of "rediscovery" following the emphatic loss.Littleproud added that the Coalition has been broken and repaired before, and he hoped that - with time - the parties could reconcile again.

The Liberal Party - which has the second largest number of seats in parliament - will remain the formal opposition party, though now in their own right. This means the Nationals will not hold any opposition roles."Whilst we have enormous respect for David Littleproud and his team, it is disappointing that the National Party has taken the decision to leave the Coalition," newly elected Liberal leader Sussan Ley said, hours after the shock announcement.

Ley said the founding principle of the Coalition had long been "shared values", but said the Nationals had refused to sign a deal without commitments to "specific policies".

The split comes after days of post-election talks between the two parties about their future, with Littleproud's party - which mainly represents regional communities and often leans more conservative than the Liberals - failing to reach an agreement with their long-time political ally."Jannik is a very resilient young man, and in his own mind he knows he's done absolutely nothing wrong and the process has been absolutely by the book. So I think he's very comfortable in himself," Singer told BBC Sport.

"He keeps off social media where there are an awful lot of people with a platform, and who don't necessarily know the facts of the case, or investigate the facts of the case as much as they might do."Wada believes the Sinner case has shown the system is working.

But it cannot duck the reality that, for as much as everyone involved might insist this case has been handled by the book, it has left some people feeling very uneasy.The full fallout and ramifications of the deal may well leave a cloud hanging over the rest of the season.
