Nationals Spill Threat: Boyce vs. Littleproud
Colin Boyce calls for Nationals leadership spill, Littleproud holds firm.
On 28 January 2026, Queensland MP Colin Boyce announced he will move for a leadership spill at the Nationals’ Monday meeting, citing a “political cliff” if the party continues its current trajectory. Incumbent leader David Littleproud, who has retained all House of Representatives seats and defended key policies such as the Regional Australia Future Fund, rejected the move. Supporters of Littleproud—Matt Canavan, Kevin Hogan and former leaders Michael McCormack and Sussan Ley—voted against the spill and urged stability. Boyce, close to Barnaby Joyce and allied with One Nation, has no backing among party room members, leaving the spill unlikely to succeed amid factional tensions.
