Michael McCormack may have fended off a challenge from Barnaby Joyce but that won’t do much to quash the former Nationals leader's long-term leadership ambitions, according to Political Reporter Trudy McIntosh.
A spill for the leadership was called on Tuesday morning after Bridget McKenzie’s resignation as deputy leader created a vacuum for Mr Joyce to mount a challenge. While Scott Morrison has yet to comment on the outcome of the vote, earlier he told reporters the Coalition would remain strong no matter the leadership make up. Image: News Corp Australia

Australia needs 'a single voice' on coronavirus response | Sky News AustraliaThe Australian Medical Association says Australia's ability to control the rampant coronavirus is being hampered because we do not have a centralised infection control body like other major western countries. \n\nTheir call for a centralised national coordinating centre for infectious disease is also being backed by the Australasian Society for Infectious Disease. \n\nNewscorp National Health Correspondent Sue Dunlevy says 'we need a single voice on this, we've already seen in the last week conflicting messages from state and federal governments about whether kids who have been to China should be able to go to school.'\n\nImage: Getty Nobody trusts the self-serving, highly political AMA any more. 😳 Much like us not having a central bushfire control body. It might have something to do with our Constitution/State rights. Do the AMA propose we re-write the Constitution or have the Federal Govt ask the State Govts to relinquish some of their rights? Good luck with either.
