John Barilaro has survived a no-confidence motion in Parliament, but his leadership faces pressure after he refused to guarantee he will keep the Coalition intact.
"I'll tell you what I'll guarantee," Mr Barilaro said."I'll guarantee for the rest of the term I'll be working hard." Asked again to confirm he will not quit, he said:"My guarantee is that I'll keep working each and every day for the people of rural and regional NSW, including the issues around the koala SEPP ".NSW Labor's vote of no confidence in Mr Barilaro was voted down in Parliament on Wednesday afternoon, in a 48 to 40 vote.
"Today Labor has lived up to its reputation as a party with no more to offer than ineffectual and hypocritical political stunts."
