Member for Flynn Colin Boyce plans to move a spill motion next Monday afternoon to challenge Nationals leader David Littleproud.
Mr Boyce told the media on Wednesday morning that the party’s decision to quit the Coalition for the second time in less than a year was political suicide.
Speaking to Sky News, Mr Boyce said he would be moving the spill motion in the Nationals’ party room “to give my colleagues an option”.
“The reality is, (if) they follow the course they’re on now, we are going over the political cliff.”
Mr Boyce, whose electorate is adjacent to Mr Littleproud’s seat of Maranoa, is a familiar face in the South Burnett and handed out certificates at the South Burnett Regional Council’s Australia Day awards ceremony in Proston on Sunday.
He has also been a strong campaigner against what the Nationals label as “reckless renewables” and has been invited to be a guest speaker at a Renewable Energy information night to be held in Kumbia next month.
Three Federal electorates cover different slices of the South Burnett: Wide Bay (Llew O’Brien), Flynn (Colin Boyce) and Maranoa (David Littleproud).
