Have seen plenty of Barnaby Joyce lately due to the Federal Election. Now he's in charge of 42 Members of the National Party.

The more you see of this bloke the more you think, seriously, is that the best the Nationals have got. Him as Leader?

His effort with Johnny Depp really exposed this dickhead for his lack of intelligence.

The big worry is that he's Deputy Prime Minister, if something happened to Turnbull or he left for overseas visits we've got this train wreck running the Country.

Be very afraid!

I totally agree.

Nick Xenophon would look better as Deputy Leader than this character.

Wrong Red,

Barnaby is exactly the sort of bloke who does well in politics because he is 'real" to 'real' australians.

Knockabout footballer, not a silvertail, hard worker, not up himself.
He fits perfectly the "personality" of the average national party voter who values these things and does not value the more
"intellectual BS" of a Tony Windsor .
the greens vote in new england is totally based on the pot smoking dole bludgers of nimbin.

So, congrats Barnaby, keep it real.

If you go to NQ you will find the whacky folk up there "vibe" with Bob Katter.

urban intellectual elites cant understand it because they are coming from a completely different "vibe".

In the same way, i cant understand Adam Bandt getting elected. To understand it, i would have to cut off my nuts, become a cry baby, get an office job and whine all day. because i am unprepared to do this, i cannot vibe with Adams voters. Horses for courses

Abbott as PM was a huge embarrassment.

Joyce as Deputy PM is just as bad, if not worse.

Parliament is a joke.

The Nationals can do better. If they can't, they are moribund.

They've been going steadily downhill since Fisher retired.

I heard Ted Bundy was a decent bloke to those that shared day to day life with him.

He's a real coal-seam-gas-blame-the-states sort of a guy. Just the sort of real aussie bloke the farmers need to lead them ;D

I reckon Barnaby did the right thing in commenting on Depp and his bimbo wife who broke our Quarantine laws.

If something happened to Turnbull he would only be a temporary replacement until the Liberals elected a new leader, nothing to worry about.

Even the livestock are on to him ...

Barnaby Joyce butted by a sheep and now he's 'hobbling like a geriatric'

Quote:

The Nationals leader, Barnaby Joyce, has revealed he was butted by a sheep on his NSW property on Tuesday, sustaining a knee injury that has left him hobbling. “The dorper ran and lined me up in the yard and ... hit me once in the knee,” he told 2GB radio on Wednesday. Instead of saying a “whole heap of profanities”, Joyce admitted he probably should have then got out of its way. “All it did was hit me again and now I’m hobbling around like an old geriatric.”

I hope he's OK btw.

I get your point, but didn't the report run to several volumes? 

The Dorper ...



Quote:

The Dorper adapts well to a variety of climatic and grazing conditions. In its native South Africa it has spread from the arid areas to all parts of the republic. It reputably does well in various range and feeding conditions and is also suited to intensive feeding. In Australia, Dorpers are now farmed throughout the arid and tropical areas as well as the high rainfall southern States, thriving even in the extreme cold and wetness of Tasmania.[citation needed] Dorpers can be run as a replacement or with suitable management as a complementary flock to Merinos, particularly as shearing costs continue to rise.

I'll bet 'a citation is needed'. The poor bloody things are forced to live in those awful conditions no matter how miserable they are - just as long as they breed, and don't die before time.

It's the battery hens and Live Exports mentality all over again.

There is less work with Dorpers, no crutching or mulesing required.
They are bred for meat instead of wool so no shearing needed.

I didn't read that far - sounds good. The perfect sheep. I'm surprised they don't prepare the cutlets to save the farmers the trouble.

Good video.

He came from a LONG way behind to almost pip your nag at the post.

So I'd shut up and sit quietly in the corner for a while, if I were you.

Leave Barnaby alone. If you dislike him that much shouldn't you just be glad thane lost his seat? Rememebr, the left kept telling us all that Windsor was going to thrash him and reclaim New England. They didn't get that one wrong too, did they?

I will never understand why rural people vote The Nationals, over so many better independents or The Australia Party.

The Nationals have shown time and time again they are willing to screw rural people for their Liberal overlords.

Ask the same question, again, when you MATURE in 5 years or so,  and decide to live in a Country Town. 

They aren't all "hayseeds".

Agree.  The cockies love him because he is one of "them".

I used to live rural, again, I'll never understand why people vote for a party that has shown time and time again it does jack poo for rural people and more often than not, screws them for their Liberal overlords, over good rural parties like The Australia Party.

The Nationals are bad and you should feel bad for supporting them.

So you are one of those GREENIE voters?  Eventually, you will mature and marry and have children ....  are you saying that you want The Government to pay you to LIVE and raise your offspring?  Isn't that rather Socialist?  What you have belongs to ME too?

Seriously, can the Lib/Nat supporters on this forum ever actually engage in debate without resorting to strawmen and ad hominems?

"ARE YOU A SOCIALIST!!!!!!?!?!?!?!?!"

Go back to 1950s McCarthy, the cold war is long over.
