Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell says he can't "rule out" a Nationals leadership spill this week as speculation grows that Barnaby Joyce is poised to depose Michael McCormack. "Barnaby Joyce is telling people he won't challenge and his supporters argue that a leak to the Australian Financial Review yesterday that a challenge was on has decreased the likelihood of a challenge when numbers were being crunched. "I'm told the majority of Nationals MPs want McCormack replaced but there are three candidates for the job - Barnaby Joyce, David Littleproud and Keith Pitt and the vote is too split. "Someone needs to call on a spill to make it happen but there is some doubt that will occur, at the moment anyway."
