Liberal Democrat senator David Leyonhjelm says he has agreed to a "loose" voting alliance with the newly-enlarged Australian Conservatives. They will co-operate when voting on issues on which they broadly agree, with the aim of curbing the influence of the Nick Xenophon Team in the upper house. Australian Conservatives founder Cory Bernadi says the new party would welcome any Liberal politicians who wish to defect. His party recently merged with Family First Australia.
