Nationals leader Barnaby Joyce has denied he helped stop an unpopular council merger in his NSW electorate, saying it was community.
The proposed merger of Walcha and Tamworth councils - which threatened to become hot issue in the battle for New England - has been scrapped.
"Not me, the community and councillors deserve credit," Mr Joyce tweeted on Thursday after a NSW government announcement.
