"To feel threatened by me clearly shows you have failed your team and failed as a leader," Mr Barilaro wrote in a message to Mr McCormack. NSW Deputy Premier John Barilaro and Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack at an event in 2018.The leaked text messages expose the divisions within the Nationals party and will put further pressure on Mr McCormack's leadership.
Mr Barilaro said it was an"emotional day" when revealing he wouldn't contest the seat for the Nationals.
And really, I have to ask:- who cares
McCormack is a DUD
Why did he cry?
Are there any politicians who actually get on with members of their own party? You can have differences of opinion, but the Nationals seem to be spoiling for punch ups at every turn. They give the impression they are all a bunch spoilt brats and boarding school boy bullies...
dummy spit
Here within the Monaro we think JB is a good MP. He is never around in a crisis, which makes him the perfect MP.
Go away barrel head.
So very united those National party folks .. broad church and all .. the question now is..when does McCormack get booted ?
Oh dear! Another Barilaro meltdown. They make for great entertainment and it’s hilarious to see those numbskull Nationals turning on each other. No doubt Barilaro is throwing tantrums over Eden Monaro. All the fun of the fair!
Barilaro’s got the horn lately for raising his profile.
Oowah! Infighting . Well that's different. Actually, its not , is it? lol
What a ducking rabble the National party is!

'The last thing we need is an argy-bargy': John Barilaro rules out tilt for Eden-MonaroNSW Deputy Premier John Barilaro declared Nationals polling showed he could win the seat of Eden Monaro, as he ruled out a tilt for the looming federal byelection. John Barilaro, who in the middle of a lethal pandemic, thought that the main issue facing us is getting football re-started. So dumb - he would have won. That’s cause he would find it much harder to pork-barrel federally. That and there’d be another civil war within the Nationals. Finally no-one has forgotten his government was responsible for the cuts to the rural fire services...
