Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell has revealed former deputy prime minister John Anderson has “given serious thought” to returning to the Nationals Party as a backbencher in the NSW senate.
"I have given serious thought to a range of options including seeking a backbench spot in the Senate," the former Nationals leader said.
“It would be a very unusual move. I undertook to think about it. I’m still deciding what I can do to help.
“I’ve been approached to see what I can do to help the party.”
Mr Clennell also said Nationals members would not support incumbent party leader John Barilaro which makes for an “interesting” preselection in July.
