Wow! I have seen wild speculations before but this one takes the cake!

Haven't seen a National party politician lately, must be hiding their heads in shame, or we just can't see them for smoke. What a useless mob of bludging good for nothings the Nationals are

There should be an inquiry into our Democracy to see if it's really working any more. Yeah that's a good idea, a Royal Commission into Australia's Democracy and toss out the dead wood starting with the National party

Visiting dairy farming relatives in Gippsland recently they dragged me along to a local National Party meeting. I imagined I’d be subjected to yet another moralistic, right wing diatribe and man oh man was I ever wrong!.
After the initial bitch about the dairy industry being screwed by the Nationals baring their arses to the Liberals in the interest of power sharing. (close to the language used on the night) a discussion took place about issue National members now had is common with the Greens. It would appear a hell of a lot. There wasn't a single farmer there that night who didn’t accept the reality and accelerating dangers of climate change. I came away with my head spinning with in increased puzzlement as to why political journalism and the broadcast media are totally silent about these kinds of developments.
Returning to Tasmania I discussed this with a number of local farmers who also suggested they were becoming more ‘green’ by the day. Question is will they manage to leave behind their conservative (christian?) social values long enough to force significant change?
One thing is certain. The recent incineration of vast tracts of Australia and Canberra’s pathetic response has changed the political game in ways I’d never in my wildest dreams thought possible.
Has the wake up call come in time?

The useless Nationals have been the funniest show in town the bush for years.

Imagine - a Political group who have done everything they possibly could to trash the environment at every opportunity for decades and they are supported by people that stupid that they don't get that they are the group in the community most dependant on the environment.

Wonder why a lot of these guys are stereotyped as dumb hicks, just maybe they are.

True the Rural Australian Movement and their National Party political representation were indeed very far removed from the Greenies, especially the more traditional early decades before the Greens became a pawn for the ALP as they are today like Garret was for Rudd.

But also true is Ayn Marx stated. Many of the modern successful Farmer has been the one who leans towards the Greens and alternative farming and innovation methods.
Hell, even a Brewer in a City came up with an Algae Filter to turn the high levels of CO2 coming out of his beer fermentations - into Oxygen!!! 

The National's only hope is to make an Alliance with the Greens and watch the Liberals and Labour tear themselves to pieces. Especially when the recent Fire Crises created a sense of Australian Patriotism far greater than what Politics could ever muster on its Australia Day.

This country is about to undergo a massive Social and Cultural Change.
