The National Party "should be worried" about its supporter base in rural and regional Australia due to its continued support of the Murray Darling Basin plan according to Sunraysia Citrus Growers chairman Kevin Cock.
Thousands of farmers from across the country have descended on Canberra — demanding the government scrap or amend the plan.

"I think the independents are going to rise up in this, and no doubt Pauline Hanson has a big following".
