It is an enormous honour to have been re-elected as Leader of The Nationals by my colleagues in today’s party room meeting.
I am humbled to serve my Party and my colleagues, but most importantly, the people of regional Australia.
Around the country, families are still facing the same cost-of-living challenges and The Nationals will continue to fight for real change.
I congratulate new Deputy Leader Kevin Hogan MP and The Nationals’ Leader in the Senate Senator Bridget McKenzie.
Both Kevin and Bridget are not just great leaders, but great friends and I am proud to be able to work with them.
I also acknowledge Senator Perin Davey and her work as Deputy Leader last term.
I thank those who voted for The Nationals at this past election and our volunteers, members and candidates.
I give you my commitment once again to continue to take common sense to Canberra.
