Australia's answer to George Bush .
Nah, that was Tony Abbott. Both blokes with fancy qualifications who couldn't think on their feet to save themselves.
Barnaby has loose lips at times, which he'll have to keep in check now. Will be interesting to see how he fares, no more crossing the floor with gay abandon (not in the National party, please!).
I actually don't mind Joyce, whilst I'm not at all on the same political page as him. He's a bit of a character. When he speaks you're getting the real person and not a boring, staged-managed personality (i.e. Bill Shorten). Of course this is a doubled-edged sword. Politics needs more people who are able to be genuine, not party apparatchiks raised in the mold of the major parties from the age of 16 who later become kicked upstairs and turn into career politicians.
