Yesterday the minister refused to explain why her own backbenchers were bypassing her and advocating for dairy farmers directly to the CEOs of major supermarkets Coles and Woolworths. I ask the minister: did Senator McDonald seek her advice prior to writing to the CEOs of Coles and Woolworths, or was she simply bypassed because her Nationals colleagues have no confidence in her?
