THEY REALLY SAID THAT?

We don’t actually come up with the plan. The CSIRO, other competent people, come up with the plan.
— Barnaby Joyce

ABC’s Fran Kelly held it together as the 2IC of the country implied he didn’t know how to make a climate crisis plan and didn’t plan to find out. Prime Minister Scott Morrison contradicted Joyce yesterday, saying his cabinet will be coming up with a plan to reach net zero emissions.

Barnaby is best left to his own devices. He will just keep leading his terrible party into the oblivion it deserves to end up TBH.

A farmer/scientist panelist said on The Drum last night that he should swap his Akubra for a hard hat...represents the mining industry now not farmers. Farmers do acknowledge climate change.

Irrelevant silly goose but these types are blackmailing, and stalling, Australia from taking remedial action to save our environment.

Parliament makes the kennel look like MENSA.

The dumb fucks can't even insult properly.

Last election he had (from memory) an 11% swing for him. Even amongst all that scandal where the "religious family man" was outed splitting from his wife and having a pregnant mistress, who got a cushy $110k salary, job in parliament that she wasn't experienced for, he still grew his lead in New England.

There needs to be a strong grassroots independent to take him on, as in many rural electorates. Another Tony Windsor type (but not Tony Windsor), often its a former local mayor who is seen to be wanting to represent the people.

The tide overall is starting to turn against the Nationals. I think there are now 3 SFF members in NSW Parliament? I don't' necessarily support them either, but they at least are more likely to have their constituents in mind.

The issue here in these country areas is that people have traditionally voted National regardless of which pile of shit they put in place. The swing for Joyce this time around was because the previous election Windsor actually stood. This time although there were a few candidates that looked good with specific things on their resumes, there was very much a need to dig for the information about them if you wanted to make your vote count by giving it to someone that wasn't going to just draw a wage and do nothing for the area. The local paper here (The Armidale Express) is so blatantly in favor of the National party that it's virtually a propaganda page. You get local electoral ads on TV and radio spouting absolute shit. Last election I had to put up with hearing that Labor planned to take away peoples right to farm on TV and radio among other blatantly ridiculous crap. So with a void of information available on other suitable ways to wisely use your vote a lot of people just went with who they traditionally voted for in this area in my opinion.

Agree. The guy campaigned against the cervical cancer vaccine for young women saying it might make 12 year old girls more promiscuous.

Anyone who does not fully evaluate politicians before deciding who to vote for is complicit with this kind of thinking, and his actions, while legislating in our Parliament on their behalf.

Queensland Nationals senator Matt Canavan has hit out at the scientists who released the Intergovernmental Report into Climate Change (IPCC), labelling it "fear porn" during a heated episode of Q+A where he also suggested that lockdowns used to curb the spread of COVID-19 were harmful.


Queensland have an endless supply of moronic pollies. Farking state should be annexed from the rest of the country.

There are some shockers (quite a few when you think about it). But coming from Canberra i'll take your comments with a grain of salt...

The Nationals pretty much represent mining now rather than farming. It's no surprise that any of them will jump out in defence of the fossil fuels industries.
