Michael McCormack (Riverina, National Party, Minister for Veterans' Affairs) Share this | Hansard source

For the information of members of the House, I advise that this morning I was elected as leader of the federal parliamentary National Party. This is obviously a great honour and privilege, and I will seek to do my very best, always. I thank the member for New England for his services to the party and to the nation. Senator Bridget McKenzie remains the Deputy Leader of the National Party. I look forward to working with my coalition colleagues to advance the interests of the nation, especially for rural and regional Australians.
