The Leader of the Nationals has today laid down the law to his colleagues.
Barnaby Joyce has told ‘any fucking dog who wants to have a go’ to meet him in the front bar of the Kingo (Kingston Hotel in Canberra) with 10 freshly poured schooners.
This comes after rumours swirl amongst our nation’s politicians and media types that Barnaby Joyce’s hold on the leadership could be slipping.
Whispers have grown after Barnaby refused to acknowledge any link between his behaviour as leader of the party, and the decimation of his coalition colleagues in the city and more urban regional areas.
While the National Party didn’t lose any electorates, many have alleged that things like Joyce’s desire to drag the chain on climate change and his own personal brand may have had a fair effect on the results in the Liberal party’s lost seats at this year’s election.
As a result, the more reserved Member for Maranoa David Littleproud has now received a few nudges from the people around him.
It’s believed his cleaner family-oriented look combined with his ability to blow up and call for people to be hung for committing ‘fruit terrorism’ when need be, make him a more palatable option for the party moving forward.
However, Barnaby has revealed he won’t just be handing over the job.
“If one of these fucking upstarts want the job? They can come get it,” said Barnaby today.
“Sure, I’ll hand the leadership over. If they can bomb 5 schooners faster than me, it’s all theirs.”
“See you at 10 am on Monday.”
More to come.
