Ross Cadell

Ross Cadell is a Nationals Senator. He is currently newsworthy due to his recent defiance of party lines. In September, Cadell, along with Senator Bridget McKenzie, voted with Pauline Hanson's One Nation on a motion concerning migration, disregarding appeals from Coalition colleagues. This action breached shadow cabinet solidarity rules and challenged the authority of Nationals leader David Littleproud and opposition leader Sussan Ley. The decision on the future of Cadell and McKenzie within the Nationals party now rests with Sussan Ley. This incident highlights potential divisions and internal challenges within the Nationals party and the broader Coalition.
