David Littleproud has survived a leadership challenge and is set for face-to-face talks with Sussan Ley about reuniting with the Liberals – less than a fortnight after the country party spectacularly blew up the Coalition.

The two leaders are scheduled to meet on Monday night after Colin Boyce’s attempt to spill the Nationals leadership failed as expected at a 2pm meeting in Canberra.
