Reports emerge that delegation of Nationals will ask deputy prime minister to stand aside

Truss told the ABC on Tuesday night a decision about whether Joyce continued to lead the Nationals was a matter for his parliamentary colleagues, but he noted the deputy prime minister had been “diminished” by rolling controversy over his private life, and speedy resolution was now required.
