National Party MP Barnaby Joyce intends to be a candidate for the seat of New England at the next federal election. Opinion within the party is divided regarding Joyce’s future, with some colleagues suggesting that he should consider quitting politics in the wake of his relationship with an ex-staffer. However, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and the Nationals’ deputy leader Bridget McKenzie say he should stay in politics. Former Nationals leader John Anderson says he will not seek pre-selection for New England.
