QW: Barnaby’s not doing his job

Denise, Tamworth

Barnaby Joyce is touring Victoria’s bushfire-affected regions campaigning for One Nation candidates in a state election. Not his state. Not his electorate. Not his job.

New England elected him to represent them — not to act as a roaming campaign manager for Pauline Hanson. Yet here he is, inserting himself into Victorian politics while the community that returned him to Parliament is effectively sidelined.

This is not a harmless side hustle. It is a clear statement of priorities. Mr Joyce is no longer behaving like the Member for New England. He is behaving like a One Nation operative.

At some point, voters are entitled to ask the obvious question: who does Barnaby Joyce actually represent?

  1. when he was NP leader and deputy PM, cheating on his wife wasn’t part of the job. he’s mister 110%

      1. Tracey Anne it is when he complains on national television that he can’t support two families on 200 k a year oh boo hoo Barnaby

    1. Tracey Anne sexual infidelity is a good indicator of personal integrity. Are you also a cheater?

  2. New England people have many problems with renewable energy, EPBC Law, crook health system plus a conga line of others.
    Be good to have our local member concentrating on them.

  3. Good on Barnaby the sooner we get rid of the woke lefties that are ruining all of Australia the better and if he goes intestate to pass on that message so be it

    1. Fortunately “woke lefties” are running the show … refer last 2 election results. I appreciate that grates with you but the thing is that Barnaby et al are politically irrelevant … Labor 91 seats One Nation 1 seat (by default). Those who support his and Pauline’s travelling circus are living in an alternate reality .

  4. Capitolising on peoples loss! No doubt will blame migrants for the fires and floods,while denying climate change.

  5. Barnaby has done more for our electorate than most. If you think otherwise you don’t live here.

    1. Darren Collier I live in New England he has never done anything useful for me or where I live.

      1. Annette Simpsonworley Well in the Tenterfield shire he got $24m for the Mt Lindsay upgrade as well as countless grants to completely bitumen seal the rest of the Mt Lindsay. Also millions for the feasibility study for the Mole River dam project and Tenterfield bypass project which the current state government cancelled. He also got funding for the Bolivia hill project in collaboration with the previous state government. That’s just in my area.

      2. Darren Collier good on Tenterfield. Still a waste of space as far as I’m concerned. He will never get my vote even more so now he is one nation.

    2. Darren Collier I live here and I don’t think cheating on his wife while campaigning for family values has done anything but embarrass us 🤷🏼‍♀️ Barnaby is a useless flop

  6. Good on him. Victoria is a state of Aust, at least he’s acknowledging the fires etc and doing something.

    1. Tash Rae he’s not at the fires … he’s stumping up support for One Neurone only … and you and I are paying for it!

  7. Barnaby is doing his job as he knows best…….jump on the band wagon of which ever political party is silly enough will give you an airing……problem one is Barnaby’s best is thinking reasoning and properly informed New England’s worst political nightmare………..and problem two is that there are too many voters in New England that are not properly informed critical thinkers……

  8. This way he gets two paychecks, FYI the migrant influx in Armidale is thanks to the Barnacle and Turnbull, interesting how Barnaby is now against mass migration 🤔

  9. I’ve never been a fan of Barnaby. But now he is with one nation , he has my whole families vote 👏🏻👏🏻
