IT'S unlikely there will be moves to oust maverick West Australian Liberal backbencher Rob Johnson from the party, Premier Colin Barnett says.
Mr Johnson has been an outspoken critic of the state government since he was deposed as police minister during a cabinet reshuffle in June 2012.
Recent media reports have suggested MLC Phil Edman, the government whip, has been trying to secure support for a motion to expel Mr Johnson from the party.
The reports speculated Mr Edman would make the move at a party room meeting on Tuesday.
But Mr Barnett told reporters before the meeting that was unlikely.
"Don't sweat the small stuff," he said.
Mr Johnson recently stormed out of a caucus meeting after disgraced former state treasurer Troy Buswell was applauded on his return to parliament after a mental breakdown and car crash controversy.
Mr Johnson revealed in August that he hadn't spoken privately with Mr Barnett since being pushed to the backbench, with their conversations limited to within the party room.
"I'm a Liberal and I will remain a Liberal," Mr Johnson said at the time.
He was being sought for comment.
