Former deputy prime minister Barnaby Joyce says he didn’t push back after Scott Morrison overruled Nationals’ resources minister Keith Pitt and rejected a controversial gas project because he did not want the junior Coalition partner’s power to be further diminished in cabinet.
“If I pursued this, it was quite simple. He just took away the portfolio that we weren’t entitled to and took us back to the number we were entitled to. He would have the portfolio back and we lose all power.
Speaking on Sunday morning to Sky News, Albanese said the concentration of power by Morrison had breached long-standing parliamentary conventions that underpin Australian democracy, but may not have broken any laws.Alex Ellinghausen
Barnaby's candid interview revealed how he gained an extra cabinet position but also extra publicly funded staff. This exactly what the Teal Independents tried on by threatening the new governments agenda. The current prime minister stared them down.
Agh no beetroot head is back god almighty I've forgotten how ugly he was ,really can't they get rid of him, is just not fit for purpose or anything
From the 'Keep Government out of people lives' guy

Why he has to answer for it regardless of Sky News opinion pieces. What? BS

Plus: journalism’s gender gap Would never have happened at Guardian Australia, an aptly named, admirable news outlet. Seriously who gives a F. The hysteria on this is mind boggling. Really does show what corrupt hypocrites our media and so many peole are when this is big news yet the cover up when the Andrews Gov all lied at their inquiry to avoid the laws they brought in when hundreds died.

Plus: journalism’s gender gap Media are SO predictable. Yep he wouldn't have thought of this himself. This is an advice for the future almost Murdochish. Had to laugh at Charmers description of the book as a “forensic” look at the pandemic management. A huge big neon, flashing red flag falls into their laps and neither the so called journalists nor the Australian editors recognised the scope or importance of the issue. 🙄😠
