Nationals leader Barnaby Joyce insists his view of Scott Morrison is "completely different" since describing the prime minister in text messages as a "hypocrite and a liar".
The deputy prime minister apologised to Nationals colleagues at a meeting on Monday, ahead of parliament resuming for the year on Tuesday, but nothing further came of the issue.
Mr Morrison has forgiven Mr Joyce - whose offer of resignation was knocked back - for the text messages sent to former Liberal staffer Brittany Higgins in March 2021.
