Keith Pitt’s vote in Tuesday’s National Party leadership was hotly contested between Barnaby Joyce and Michael McCormack, with the new resources minister opting to side with the incumbent.
Speaking with Sky News, Mr Chester said the suggestion of a deal was “bulldust”. “I’m calling bulldust already. There is no way any deal has been done. Michael McCormack doesn’t work like that,” he said. “He doesn’t offer jobs going into votes like that.”
So Pitt's vote was entirely for the sake of his back pocket. Not for his party or the government or the country, but just so he got a pay rise as a junior minister. Says it all about the The_Nationals auspol
