Surely they will reunite, it's political death for both parties if they don't. It gets significantly more difficult once the shadow ministries are handed out. They have to do it now or face aninternal riot.
I don't see many issues that the nationals and Labour align on the the greens or liberals don't, maybe threading the needle on land access issues that satisfy farmers, in that they don't hand land over to resources companies or lock it up in protected parks? But I don't see that as significant enough to justify the split.
It just feels like all tactics and no strategy, at the meta level they have to be in coalition to form government in the medium term. I could see a liberal party moderate resurgence over a longer horizon by going it alone, but I just don't think tjat their significant funders actually care or would tolerate that, they just want to maintain the current lasse faire regulatory system that allow them to rip cash out of the ground and pockets of Australian consumers in the short term.
