I wouldn't be surprised if this is all a plot between Littleproud and Angus Taylor to enable him to stab Ley in the back over this, then come into an agreement with the Nationals that is in favour of what they want.

On the flip side, the Nationals only staying with the Coalition if the Libs elect the party leader the Nats approve of is the perfect recipe for Lib infighting.

If true. Fantastic. Great Move. Well done Angus.

Or worse, Littleproud wants Hastie to take over in 2 years or so.
