NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian will stand her ground and refuse the Nationals' demands for an urgent cabinet meeting to debate planning policy relating to koalas.
Planning policy related to koalas is threatening to split the government, with Deputy Premier John Barilaro asking Premier Gladys Berejiklian to call an emergency cabinet meeting.It may also see two Nationals MPs, Chris Gulaptis and Gurmesh Singh, sit on the crossbench next week, which would leave the Berejiklian government without a majority in the lower house.
But on Tuesday Ms Berejiklian ruled out the special meeting and said the issue would be added to a further cabinet agenda. She also backed Mr Stokes. "I'm really pleased with the way in which Mr Stokes has listened to the concerns of members and I feel that he has continued to provide a good balance where we protect one of our most loved species but also protect the property rights of people."
