The already peculiar state of politics in the modern world has somehow got even weirder today.
In news that has to be seen to be believed, the Member for New England has become the voice of reason and rationality for the Federal Coalition.
The Former deputy prime minister Barnaby Joyce has said that last week’s Coalition split was a “complete shocker” and called for sanity to prevail.
His strong and reasonable comments follow a week of public infighting and bickering between the Libs and the Nationals, after the Nationals threw their toys out of the cot.
They’ve since calmed down and asked for their toys back (salary and staffers), after realising that they can’t reach them from inside their cot.
Fellow former deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack has also criticised the bombshell announcement last week from David Littleproud, with the Nationals now apparently mulling over another leadership challenge.
And through it all, Barnaby Joyce has emerged as the sensible centre, asking both the Libs and the Nats to cut the shit and just get back to business.
“Fuck me,” sighed Barnaby to The Advocate this morning.
“What a lot of carry on.”
“Now everyone’s white anting each other.”
“Everyone’s got their own position on every issue.”
“We’ve become a laughing stock.”
“Might be time for me to take the reins again I think.”
More to come.
