The NSW Nationals are promising a renewed focus on people in the bush, as they announce their new-look leadership team following the state election.
John Barilaro was re-endorsed as leader at a party room meeting on Friday, with Paul Toole elected his deputy.
Mr Toole, the member for Bathurst, beat Melinda Pavey to replace Niall Blair, who stunned many on Sunday by announcing he was quitting cabinet.
"I believe the leadership team that is in front of you today is one that will be focused on making sure that regional NSW doesn't get forgotten but, more importantly, becomes the focus of this next term of government," Mr Barilaro told reporters in Sydney.
Sarah Mitchell was chosen to lead the NSW Nationals in the upper house, making her the first female leader in the party's 100-year history.
"It's historic and I think it's a great sign for our party going forward," she told reporters.
The Nationals were punished by voters in Saturday's election, losing three seats - one to Labor and two to the Shooters, Fishers and Farmers.
Mr Barilaro acknowledged his party needed to do better and vowed to focus on the electorates of Barwon, Lismore and Murray.
But, he warned, there won't be any "kneejerk" reactions as the coalition properly assesses the fallout from the election.
"There are lots of things we've got to do," he said.
"It won't be what I say in the new few days or weeks, it will be what we achieve in the next four years that hopefully will earn the trust of those voters."
The deputy premier congratulated the Shooters, Fishers and Farmers on their victories, saying he hoped to work with them on good policies for people in the regions.
"They have an opportunity to put forward their view, their policy," he said.
"The reality is they aren't in government. We won a majority government to lead this state."
At a press conference shortly after, Shooters MP Robert Borsak had less kind words for Mr Barilaro.
He labelled the coalition's campaign against his minor party over guns "dishonest, nasty and disgusting".
He said the Shooters party were "unashamedly biased for the bush", unlike the NSW Nationals.
"The don't represent the bush. They are a subsidiary party of the Liberal party, they are the tail on the end of the Liberal party dog," he told reporters.
"We're here to deliver for the bush, we're here to do what the National Party can't and won't do through their failure of representation in the bush."
