Nationals backbenchers are confident the government will spend more on the drought after demanding a $1.3 billion relief package. FOLLOW LIVE

Labor has called on the federal government to increase immediate drought measures as Nationals backbenchers push for a $1.3 billion spend on struggling towns. 

The junior coalition partner has presented a 10-point plan for cabinet consideration, with the proposal including $10 million cash injections for every council in a drought zone.

The Nationals have described the drought as a seminal issue for the regions and warned the party could lose votes to One Nation if they don't act.

Nationals MP Barnaby Joyce says the coalition will be booted from government unless they pump more money into the drought.
