US EditionLittleproud sees off challenger and Ley thinks she has the numbers
- David Littleproud was confirmed as the Nationals' leader following a confidential vote held on Monday, May 12, 2025, in Canberra, successfully overcoming a challenge from Matt Canavan.
- The leadership contest followed the Nationals' relatively strong election performance despite Labor winning a majority government, with internal debates over net zero and nuclear energy policies influencing the challenge.
- Kevin Hogan was elected deputy leader and Bridget McKenzie remained the Senate leader as Littleproud emphasized continuity and a stable party approach towards upcoming policy reviews and the next election.
- Canavan criticized the party’s campaign for lacking coherence and vowed to keep opposing net zero policies, while Littleproud described it as a privilege to lead the Nationals and emphasized the party’s role as a reliable and steady partner within the Coalition.
- The Nationals' leadership result suggests the party will maintain its current policy trajectory amid internal tensions, with broader Liberal leadership contests and federal political challenges upcoming.
