Leaked text messages reveal Nationals MP were fuming after details of their list of demands for agreeing to a net zero emissions target were canvassed publicly, before they had seen it, with one accusing the Prime Minister’s office of leaking it.

The leaking of parts of the Nationals’ net zero demands, and discussion afterwards on the party’s private message channel on the encrypted Signal app, comes ahead of a crunch Nationals meeting at 3pm on Sunday and as the Prime Minister prepares to fly to Glasgow on Thursday for the COP26 climate summit.

Seven Nationals MPs responded to the group messages from Senator Canavan on Friday morning, with one criticising the fact party room confidentiality had been breached, and another pointedly stating they had not leaked the story to the media. It is expected Mr Joyce will report back to his MPs on the Prime Minister’s response to the Nationals’ list of demands on Sunday.
