Nationals MP Darrren Chester says it's been "a rough week" for his party, but the fight between Malcolm Turnbull and Barnaby Joyce isn't the end of the coalition.

Mr Chester refused to pick a side in the war of words between the prime minister and his deputy, after Mr Turnbull accused Mr Joyce of a "shocking error of judgment" over an affair with his staffer.

"We are working across party lines. I'm very confident we can continue to deliver good government here in Australia," Mr Chester told reporters on Friday.
