The Nationals have been blasted for sending out “creepy” unsolicited emails to Aussies after their disastrous koala stoush.
Several homeowners with bush properties have contacted news.com.au to say they have been sent the emails, saying they feel their privacy has been violated.The emails, signed off by NSW Nationals Chairman Andrew Fraser tells homeowners the party has been “fighting for your property rights”.“Regardless of what you may have read, seen or heard in the last 24 hours, the Nationals have now negotiated with our Coalition partners to take the matter to the NSW Cabinet,” the email reads.
This morning he addressed a joint party room meeting of the Liberals and Nationals via video conference and reaffirmed the Coalition between the two parties.The Nationals last week effectively threatened to move to the crossbench over a bill related to koala conservation, when Premier Gladys Berejiklian told the party to fall into line or resign by 9am on Friday.
Not long after, Mr Barilaro claimed the backdown as a win for the Nationals, and now it has been revealed the party sent text messages and emails to voters, which senior Liberals are not happy about. “The reason I am angry is on Friday, the Nats whacked out a text message … attacking this issue, when they had reached an agreement that morning to be good Coalition partners,” he told The Australian.
