Nats MP warns against Liberal leaks as power balance shifts

  • The Nationals party retained all 14 of its lower house seats in the recent federal election while the Liberals secured 39 seats overall.
  • The Nationals secured a positive swing in Bendigo and maintained five seats previously held by the Queensland branch of the Liberal National Party, despite the Coalition experiencing an overall heavy defeat.
  • Senior Nationals such as Michael McCormack expressed support for leader David Littleproud and pushed for stronger party influence, highlighting increased representation of women and the party’s growing share of the Coalition.
  • McCormack criticized anonymous Liberal leaks, urging grievances be aired within party rooms and called for courage to openly state opinions, while Kay Hull expected intense discussions on Coalition power balance ahead.
  • The Nationals’ stronger election performance suggests a push for more shadow ministries and greater Coalition role, though both parties face needed soul searching after the overall conservative defeat.
