The Prime Minister was publicly chewed out by his deputy Barnaby Joyce this morning in Canberra for being late with the Nationals leader’s coffee.
As per the net zero agreement between the Liberals and Nats, Scott Morrison must bring Barnaby a mocca with four tablespoons of raw sugar dumped in but not stirred.
“You buffoon!” yelled Joyce across the Parliamentary Courtyard as Scotty lightly jogged over to him.
“I told you not to stir it! You know I like to scoop the wet sugar out of the bottom of the cup! Like it like a dog with a peanut butter jar!”
Scott apologised but Barnaby, realising he now had an audience, decided to put on a show.
He threw the mocca up into the Japanese maple tree on the other side of the courtyard and demanded that Scott go and get him another one.
“Don’t stir it this time!”
“And we you get back, I’d like to have it out here so you’re going to be on coffee table duty outside for a change. Don’t say I’m not good to you, you peanut.”
With that, the Prime Minister lightly jogged back into the building.
More to come.
