Rachel Southwell, Traralgon I AM disgusted by the Victorian National Party’s boys’ club carrying on like feral schoolkids in reaction to Barnaby Joyce’s return to the deputy prime ministership and the demotion of Darren Chester from Cabinet. Trying to undermine the federal government in the middle of the international turmoil caused by COVID-19, China’s banging of war drums in the South China Sea, and Russia’s aggression in Ukraine is just disgraceful. Yet they would try to force the federal government into minority status through their failed plan to disaffiliate the Victorian Nationals from their federal colleagues.
