different but the same...

Barnaby Joyce has been elected unopposed as leader of the Nationals, following a party-room meeting at Parliament House in Canberra.

Key points
  • Joyce elected as Nationals leader, Nash as deputy
  • Joyce to become Deputy PM after Truss announced he will not recontest next election
  • PM has agreed to increase Nationals in Cabinet to four, Truss said
  • All four major parties now have female deputies

He will take over the position of Deputy Prime Minister from Warren Truss, who has announced he will not recontest the next election.

Senator Fiona Nash has been elected as deputy leader of the Nationals.

"Within the next few years we will continue to build on the exceptional work that has been done by the most recent giant of our party, Warren Truss," Mr Joyce said.

"It is going to be a slightly different National Party, quite a different National Party," Senator Nash said.

"And we would be doing the same things we have always done, focusing on those people outside the major capital cities, who need us to fight for them."

the barking gnawing annoying puppy gets the bone...

 

Absent even the drover's dog (apologies to Bill Hayden), the clownish Barnaby Joyce seized the leadership of the Nats unopposed and, to an astonished public, became our new deputy prime minister. David Tyler reports.

IT'S OFFICIAL, Barnaby Joyce will soon be only a heart-beat away from being Prime Minister.

What is going on? What went wrong with the rumoured Liberal plan to keep Wokka on the payroll until after Turnbull got back in?

Will Barnaby even be re-elected, given Tony Windsor's threat to nominate as an independent who would at least represent his electorate and not sell out local farmers' by giving their water to Shenhua mining?

Is Barnaby the best man to arrest the National's slow but inexorable shuffle into extinction?

Hi John

sums it up...

an invite from some kind of sweaty, big-gutted man...

Johnny Depp has cited Barnaby Joyce – the Australian politician who threatened to put down the Hollywood star’s dogs Pistol and Boo – as a reason for him to return to Australia one day.

Proving that the incoming deputy prime minister still looms large in the mind of the actor, Depp joked that Joyce had invited him to stay at his house “for some reason”...

a turd too big to be a postcard from the caribbean...

The fight that sent the marriage of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard down the toilet stemmed from a pile of poop he found in their bed, according to a report.

Depp accused Heard of dumping the feces as revenge for being two hours late to her 30th birthday bash – but she called the charge a load of crap, blaming the offensive deposit on her dog, the UK’s Mirror reported.

The troubled “Edward Scissorhands” star stormed out of the couple’s LA penthouse after an explosive argument in June 2016, and a housekeeper discovered the soiled sheets the following day, according to the outlet.

The worker suggested that the poop was too large to be from the pooch, a Yorkshire terrier named Boo, who Heard said suffers from bowel problems.

Read from top. Since then, Joyce has been disgraced as well... and now lives in the dog house of political oblivion...
