NSW Nationals leader John Barilaro to face no-confidence vote in parliament

Deputy premier likely to survive as party leader but scene set for Liberals to show their disapproval of his threats over koala protection

The New South Wales National party leader, John Barilaro, will face a vote of no-confidence when parliament resumes on Tuesday after the junior Coalition partner had a very public stoush with the Liberals over koala protections.

Barilaro appears likely to hang on to the Nationals leadership, and the job of deputy premier that comes with it, when his party meets early in the day. But Labor's no-confidence motion on the floor of the lower house later could set the stage for some Liberal MPs to show their displeasure by not turning up for the vote.
