‘I’ll be supporting the leader’: Pitt backs Joyce in leadership challenge

Nationals MP Keith Pitt says he'll be barracking for Barnaby Joyce on Monday to hold onto leadership of the party. It comes as fellow MP Darren Chester will challenge Mr Joyce for the Nationals leadership. Deputy Leader David Littleproud, and former leader Michael McCormack have also expressed interest in the top job. "Barnaby runs on Monday I'll be supporting the leader thanks very much," Mr Pitt said. "I think it's just the right thing to do – we've come through the election holding every seat, we'll gain a senator." Via news.com.au — Australia’s leading news site https://www.news.com.au
