Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell said the Nationals “resisted when Morrison attempted to strip National Resilience out of the portfolio held by Deputy Nationals leader David Littleproud, who was and remains the Minister for Drought and Emergency Management”. “As we reported here on Sunday Agenda just before the March reshuffle, Scott Morrison's original plan was to create this new portfolio for Reynolds to deal with the recovery after various disasters,” Mr Clennell said.
