Updated
Nationals MP George Christensen has been warned by an LNP colleague to get back in the tent and act as a team player. It comes after Sydney's Daily Telegraph reported Mr Christensen had again threatened to resign from the Coalition. Mr Christensen has confirmed today he drafted a so-called 'letter of demand' to the Prime Minister but says he never sent it. His gripe is about what he sees as Government inaction over a dispute between a foreign-owned sugar mill and Queensland cane growers.
