Senator Matt Canavan says the people of regional Australia need “someone like Barnaby” to advocate for them in Canberra.

The Nationals Senator said that’s why he moved a spill motion this morning against Michael McCormack, who was ousted in favour of Barnaby Joyce.

“I did move the motion,” he told Scott Emerson.

“I have been upfront for a year and a half that I thought regional Australia, in particular the jobs we rely on, need someone like Barnaby to bang the table for them.”

He said Barnaby Joyce would be a “strong voice for regional Australia”.

“I think people know that Barnaby is going to be in their corner.”

He said Michael McCormack showed his “absolute integrity and class” today.
