  2. The November 1916 ALP split over conscription completely recast the party composition of the assembly. Premier Holman, and twenty of his supporters were expelled from the party for defying party policy and supporting conscription.[lower-alpha 15] They joined a Grand coalition with the members of the various conservative parties.[lower-alpha 16] By 1917, this had coalesced into the Nationalist Party of Australia. Four Labor members were also expelled for supporting conscription and they continued to sit as Independent Labor. The remaining 25 Labor members opposed conscription and became the official opposition ALP.
