People might finally be getting sick of Barnaby Joyce’s shit. According to a Newspoll run over the weekend by The Australian, 65 percent of voters think he should resign as Nationals leader while 30 percent think he should leave parliament altogether. A total of 1632 voters were surveyed.Whatever could everyone be so mad about? Over the past two weeks, Joyce has come under fire for:
- having an adulterous affair with his staffer, Vikki Campion, who is now pregnant;
- literally creating a new and extremely well-paid new job for her in a colleague’s office to avoid arousing suspicion;
- successfully running a re-election campaign for his seat based on “family values” while all this was happening;
- repeatedly staying for free in accommodation paid for by businessmen benefiting from federal government projects;
- being totally unapologetic for any of the above, and in fact firing back at Malcolm Turnbull for suggesting that ministers should stop having sex with the people under their employ.
