The National party led by John Barilaro try to blow up possibly the most successful government in Australia.
This is despite the legislation had passed cabinet which he is in and in fact was not doing any of things he alleged.
Aunty Gladys stared him down and so he and his party had to backdown although that did not stop him saying black was white.
In the last election in NSW the Nationals went backwards and indeed lost two of the safest seats to the Shooters, Fishers and Farmers party principally due to water ( although to be fair the two successful candidates had completely opposite 'solutions' to the problem.
He is also aware there are independents waiting to compete for other safe National seats. They are confident because they believe they can represent farming interests where the Nationals cannot.
The Nationals problems these days is that leaders or potential leaders are not farmers. Think Barilaro or McCormack or Joyce at a Federal level.
Moreover whenever Barilaro protests about government decisions he as part of cabinet approved it only weakens the government he is part of.
His behaviour before the Eden Monaro by-election again showed he is politically witless. And he had ambitions to lead the nationals at a national level!
quite easily the most over-rated politician in Australia
