Nationals backbencher Llew O’Brien has quit the party following Barnaby Joyce’s failed leadership bid, it has been reported.
Mr O’Brien told Prime Minister Scott Morrison of his decision to resign on Sunday night, The Courier-Mail reported.
The member for Wide Bay in Queensland was among those supporters of Barnaby Joyce who were last week threatening to cross the floor and block coalition legislation after the failed leadership bid.
Mr O’Brien is understood to have been given the right to stay in the LNP but won’t be able to sit in the party rooms, the newspaper said.
He will still give the government supply.
Mr O’Brien was said to be unhappy with a number of matters including the use of entitlements in the National Party.
