Barnaby Joyce returning to the Nationals leadership, and deputy prime ministership, is an appalling prospect for the Coalition. Joyce is a destructive, self-serving, megalomaniac who damaged his party and trashed its conservative brand just a few years ago. 1/3 #auspol
Joyce justified deceiving voters about his marriage before New England by-election as just the “game” of politics. He lied to PM Turnbull about the affair. He took $$ for a tell-all interview after insisting to journos it was a private matter. He has zero credibility. 2/3 #auspol
The Nationals mark 100 years as a party this year. Former leaders like Arthur Fadden, John McEwen, Doug Anthony, Tim Fischer, John Anderson who had authority and respect are, or would be, utterly offended by Joyce reclaiming the job they once held. It is a disgrace. 3/3 #auspol
