Barnaby Joyce Joins One Nation, Immediately Regrets Like Expired Tinder Swipe
KEY POINTS
- •Andrew Hastie said he feels sorry for Barnaby Joyce after Joyce joined Pauline Hanson’s One Nation party.
- •Hastie and One Nation MP David Farley probably have buyer’s remorse about joining the party’s chaotic leadership.
- •Pauline Hanson’s animated cartoon labeled Hastie a ‘traitor’ following his testimony against Ben Roberts-Smith.
In a political soap opera not even daytime TV would touch, Andrew Hastie publicly pities Barnaby Joyce—yes, the twice deputy PM who jumped ship from the Nationals to Pauline Hanson’s One Nation, a 'rambunctious rabble' described by Hastie as lacking principles and coherence. Adding insult to irony, One Nation’s David Farley apparently suffers buyer’s remorse too, like a dude realizing his new tattoo is Helvetica instead of Old English. The drama escalated when Pauline dropped an animated 'traitor' cartoon slamming Hastie for testifying against VC hero Ben Roberts-Smith in his poofed defamation case. Hastie simply wonders if Hanson plans to cartoonishly troll every opponent as her full-time gig. Welcome to Australian politics, where loyalty’s fluid and cartoons deliver the harshest burn.
