Littleproud Steps Down: Nationals Seek New Leader

0:00I'm Cory with the story, bringing you the latest from Sydney News today. David Little Proud has stepped down as leader of the nationals. He made the announcement during a press conference at Parliament House in Canberra on Tuesday afternoon. The move comes after a tough stretch for the party, and he plans to stay on as the member from Aranoa. The decision stems from burnout after the recent election campaign. Little Proud admitted the pressure left him exhausted, with sleepless nights taking a real toll. He feels it's time for fresh leadership with more energy. His wife Amelia stood by his side as he spoke, showing the personal side of the strain. He got emotional talking about wanting to return to a normal life and spend time at home. It's clear the role had worn him down. Little Proud pledged to keep serving the nationals in the coalition in whatever way they need. But he believes someone else can lead better right now. The party now faces the task of picking a new head. Meanwhile, details on the leadership transition are still unfolding. Expect more news soon as the nationals regroup.
