Nationals MP Barnaby Joyce has suggested two people who died in the NSW bushfires"most likely" voted for the Greens as he blamed the minor party for increasing the threat of bushfires.
"I acknowledge that the two people who died were most likely people who voted for the Green party, so I am not going to start attacking them. That's the last thing I want to do."It's the latest inflammatory comment in a stoush between the Greens and the Nationals over the link between climate change and the deadly bushfires.
Greens MP Adam Bandt took aim at the Government on Saturday, claiming NSW's bushfires were a result of poor climate policy.While Mr Joyce also criticised Mr Bandt's political tactics, he acknowledged the impact of climate change on Australia's bushfire season. Mr Joyce is calling for legislative change to allow more burns to be conducted during winter to eliminate fuel in fire-prone areas.
Another koalakiller
Backwards human BJ
I don't know how to react without taking it to the gutter. Who still supports this offensive, out-of-touch, hypocrite? Even if he leaves we'll be paying for his lavish lifestyle forever. The only positive is the alimony he has to pay to his betrayed wife and kids.
Appalling.
OkBurner
Interesting how a lot of the Federal pollies who conveniently disregard the climate crisis evidence (which there's a lot) tend to be neo-conservative, religious-right, Anglo, older white dudes in the Coalition...I guess 'thoughts and prayers' is the easy, do-nothing response 😑
Morally bankrupt
What about the 40million in budget cuts to nsw firefighters.
This vile beast Joyce does not belong to the human species, surely.
Talk a Pauline Hanson comment If she had of made it there woulda been a public flogging organised
Barnaby is the definition of ‘low’.
Hey Barnaby_Joyce did you and your mistress vote for the Australian Sex Party before your secret love child was born? Or did you vote for the Family First Party because you wanted two families while you were still married?
Is he friends with Donald trump? They seem to have a lot in common.
Old Slavic proverb: ‘Every time he opens his mouth, another fart comes out’.
What frustrates me most abt TheGreens is that they wreck chance of sound reasoned debate w/ provocative verbal flourishes. Looks like Barnaby is taking a leaf from their book. Just let people get on with enacting the necessary changes, politicians. Get out of our way.
Now here’s someone who can do with some of that « empathy training ».
Time to TakeOutTheTrash
What a joke...
What an unpleasant man.
Never has this man ever said anything that made any sense. His agenda is to promote big business at all costs.
all that forehead and head space but zero brain functionality gee whiz hes a clown
What !!!!!
It’s time for this flog to go!!!
Grubby
Where is Egg-Man when you need him?
such a disgrace.
By god Natalie and the girls must think themselves so lucky this trash is gone from their home. Barnaby_Joyce The_Nationals
What kind of garbage being says something like that? Actually, it seems par for the course for this coprolite that walks like a man.
US politics: wow this is a mess how could anyone be this bad. Australian politics: hold my VB
Wow, what kind of people live in Armidale? Seriously, this is not normal, and we pay this guy, but not enough apparently as he now has to split his salary to pay Alimony, which he also compares to living on new start. This guy is disgusting and so are the people that vote for him
Can someone pass on my f u to Mr Joyce? Please and thank you
I acknowledge that Joyce is both guessing and politicising two tragic and unnecessary deaths.
This has gone on wat 2 time the citizens take control of all decision making regarding climate change. Politicians R 2 scared & BIG business doesn't want renewables
Barnaby Joyce is a jerk!
I'm constantly shocked by this man's tin ear and lack of compassion.
Barnaby_Joyce Mouth breathing grub.
And there you have it. They care so little for the lives of people they're celebrating the death of two innocents.
RichardMcLellan Can you stop giving oxygen to this man?
The man is a pig, and entirely unfit for parliament.
Barnaby Joyce
Scum. So are the peopl who voted for him.
What a shitstain on the body politic is Barnaby_Joyce.
Wow
Barnaby should be terminally inflamed. It’s what he deserves.
Hey the real blame for the bushfires in Australia 🇦🇺 is Scott Morrison liberals and the nationals government for not acting on climate change. As prime minister for a country it’s your responsibility to look after your land and act on climate change . But Morrison does nothing.
Gina Rinehart’s coal in danger of becoming a stranded asset! Pull out all stops! auspol bushfires
He must resign. For someone in his position to make such a disrespectful hateful comment is completely unacceptable.
He's upset his father in law is wealthier than him haha
Barnaby_Joyce you sir, are an arsehat.
He needs to go work for Gina and leave us alone . I should rephrase that . He needs to get off the public purse whilst advocating for Gina and get on her pay role
Standard behaviour for this absolute disgrace of a man. How he is still in office is beyond me
Another damned Trump, get them all out!
Barnaby is unhinged and needs to resign
The greens whined against back burning.
Bloody hell Barnaby_Joyce .. bloody hell mate.
Bad call Barnaby_Joyce foot in mouth
About time Journalists started calling out on BS from politicians. No respect for victims families or friends from this heartless pig of a man!
Where is the water you stole Barnaby? Lining your pockets at the cost of farmers and rural communities.
miranda_maybe So is he resigning ?
Barnaby_Joyce and M_McCormackMP love to deflect.
I think the only one who’s voted for the green is Barney - he’s had so much green he’s hallucinating! Seriously, though, what an absolutely disgraceful thing to bring up at a time when families are grieving - all the compassion and warmth of a rabbit trap.
This man is abominable
marcialangton Umm, Barnaby I think an apology is order?
marcialangton Ooh scary?😟
marcialangton Abso.ute grub
What else do you expect from this this man.
Barnaby has to be a nutter
Here is the truth Barnaby
What does he mean?
So angry at this. What a total scab. How does he know and what does it matter? These poor souls died an horrific death. Here's what a Fire Fighters says
'His claims have been rejected by former NSW RFS Commissioner Greg Mullins who said hazard reduction burns were limited by warmer, drier conditions, rather than policies'
Disgusting!
Hit rock bottom.....started digging
FW
felicityward What a twathead thing to say at such a time with actual intent and malice behind it. Why are people in power incapable of feeling empathy or general humanity and decency. As if it's got anything to do with the greens, all they are trying to do is avoid these disasters at all!
The greens are Muppets 😠😠😠
Utterly unforgivable. Resign.
Have you broken people even listened to the interview? He was making a point that we shouldn't make it political
felicityward How despicable.
Barnaby_Joyce is a thoroughly repulsive grub.
You're a sick puppy Barnaby. Might be time to leave, you will never regain the leadership.
The repulsive BarnabyJoyce has form. When Ian Turnbull brutally murdered environmental officer Glen Turner in 2014, Barnaby_Joyce sympathised with the murderer. AusPol
uhmmmm
it forgot to rain in australia today! i guess mother nature most likely voted for the greens too
Really Barnaby !!?!!
How predictable for a bogan to make bogan comment in Boganville!? Here people have died, and this rustic, buffoonish bumpkin has this insensitive uncouth comment to make. That this man was Deputy PM is quite telling of an entire country's unabashed boganism, worn with pride too.
Ok, listen up Australia! ClimateAction WILL help fight bushfires. How? Do our bit for the global targets in the Paris Agreement. Make 1 less excuse for others not to act. Join the world in limiting to 1.5 degrees. So that bushfires don’t keep getting worse in future decades.
What the fuck? Is this some sort of threat? Does Barnaby understand how legislating works? Does he know that the party in power does the legislating, and that he is directly responsible for the Coalition budget slashing that has allows these fire to be much worse.
OK boomer
He is a grub
TakenQuickly look at what this fuckwit says 😂
No trees=no rain.
Barnaby_Joyce is a disgraceful human being.
I thought that politicians were, by definition, human animals. It appears that 'human' classification is optional.
How inappropriate
I suggest Barnaby is trash
He really needs to be gone.
Obviously been at from breakfast again.
Don’t give him any response...his job seems to be to say something outrageous to draw fire from The PM and Deputy PM. Concentrate on the important stuff not the trash that is Barnaby_Joyce
dimitrifouras Look at this idiot.
Maybe this is Barnaby Joyce’s drought report as part of his ‘Drought Envoy’ rort....I mean roll..........actually, rort seems more appropriate. auspol
marcialangton The truth seems to be that much of the bush is now so dry that hazard reduction burns are themselves too hazardous.
Looks like climate change made the fire bugs lite those fires. Greens useless fucks
What a cunt
If they’re not national voters then no loss, I guess..
Barnaby Joyce owes the dead and their families an apology and he should resign from politics. This is beyond belief.
Can this man get any more repulsive?
Multiple NP ministers in two days proving they are visitors from planet stupid! No wonder the country is being flushed.
banas51 Barnaby_Joyce pull your head in the Australian people are coming after you and your government revolution is inevitable for your government.
What a unnecessary nasty comment
marcialangton Shame, representative Joyce, Shame ... what an appalling thing to say .. “I’m not going to say those who died died because they voted Greens (i think)” but, wait, I just said it didn’t I Is this your actual value judgement? Is this your moral position?
What. The. Actual. F**k.
Why was the lazy lying pisspot elected then? Clearly did nothing in return
My Lord. He's totally fucked.
How dare he add to the grief of those families by insinuating that those who don't vote for his party DESERVE to DIE!
He is an absolute goose , who doesn’t think before he speaks . He needs to go . Back burning is important, but you don’t say it like that .
Barnaby beats his own record by descending even deeper into the sewer. It’s bottomless.
The voters of New England, you have a lot to answer for. auspol
Coalition strategy donothing
surfersroad good bloke that Barnaby Joyce
What an absolute cringe worthy comment by an absolute cringe worthy idiot. Oh wait.
This man has the intellect of a bath sponge
Now you vote greens to stick it up them...
Wow, just when you thought he couldn’t fall any lower
GET FUCKEDDDDFDDD
Barnaby, like many in the govt, is a powertripping sociopath
He didn’t just suggest it, he stated it. Well done, New England. Whatta Man. POS
Say that again?
And the majority of voters in his electorate vote for this twit!!!! Says a lot about them. 🤔
Australia 2019: 2 ppl die in bushfire, an elected mp raises their possible political affiliations in an interview.
WTF is wrong with this person 😡 sympathies to those families who lost loved ones, I couldn’t care less which political party you voted for.
The threat of increased risk of bushfires from climatechange was documented in 2005, yet climate denial propaganda from him, his party and the climate denial promoting media have worked hard to block climateaction for years
This guy is sick
Barney you dinosaur...T shirt for you and your philandering types
The man has chronic foot in mouth disease. No wonder he joined the country party. He Bill Shortend , little boy Chrissy Bowen , Penny and Tanya - times up leave and let new talent step forward. USED BY DATE WELL EXCEEDED!!!!
No shame No self respect No respect for his wife and mother of his children No respect for his children No respect for the sanctuary of family Why is it such a surprise that he doesn’t have any respect for 3 dead strangers? But he actually dares to call himself a Christian.
He is unbelievable! Get out of politics, we say.
marcialangton Barnaby Joyce seems to have had mentoring from Alan Jones.
Bizarro.Austalia your number one clown who we fund his unempathy.
He never fails to disgust
marcialangton How is this acceptable public policy? Bunch of absolute nut jobs: Morrison, Trump, Johnson w Murdoch and Putin pulling the strings.
Wow did he really imply that it’s totally ok for these people to be dead because he thinks maybe they might have voted for another political party 😳Now that is a massive slippery slope there Barney!
Whoever voted for this man Barnaby_Joyce whole be ashamed
Who's in government?
Read the article.
Adam Bandt is a political grub, a gross hypocrite, he & his pathetic Green apostles in the Media have taken every opportunity to squeeze every drop of political propaganda they can from every bit of human misery caused by Bush Fire, Flood, Hailstorm or Cyclone in the last decade.
Greens policy is as responsible for these bushfires as it was for Barnaby_Joyce and AngusTaylorMP's diversion of $100Ms worth of water licenses to offshore bank accounts that they have no connection to.
Classic gaslighting.
Repulsive. Time to sack this fool.
Barnaby_Joyce it’s absolutely fascinating to me that you hit rock bottom and then continue to find a way to get even lower.
Hasn't ScoMo been campaigning in the drought affected areas since the election. How could he not listen to the community about the fire risk? It's unfathomable. He doesn't get it.
Asher_Wolf LNP_HateSpeech BanTheBeetroot

Can he finally be encouraged to reign now.
Joyce is a grub!!
So much for keeping politics out of this disaster.
Insensitive buffoon.
OMG 😱😱
Wytaliba was a “hippy commune” from yeeeeeears ago. They are wonderful people - but do live in “amongst nature”!! I’ve been there. I worked there. Barnaby knows his electorate and the issues at hand. Wouldn’t be a labor, lib or nat vote for a twenty K radius. Sad times. Very sad.
This man is not fit for office. Resign Barnaby_Joyce
The beetrooter throws out a huge dead cat to hide the fact that a vote for the LNP is a vote for more devastating fires. ClimateCrisis ClimateEmergency LNPQLD
Hopefully these were his career-ending utterances
marcialangton shame on you Barnaby_Joyce shame on you!!! All voters MUST be respected!! Not lectured during a major disaster, especially if they have perished in fires!!
Ausshot3Dave He should be censured!
marcialangton auspol Yes appalling Isn't it! I believe Barnaby_Joyce should apologize to the families of those that died for that comment! It appears you Barnaby blame the victims of a fire, totally inappropriate! Apologise or get out of parliament! Nobody will accept that crap!
Can someone throw HIM into the fire, please?
People are dead, Joyce. Show some respect! This is not the time for more of your abhorrent behaviour and thoughtless comment.
Barnaby_Joyce,
How to use two, unnecessary, avoidable tragic deaths that this govt’s lack of action is fully responsible for, for political gain 101. Not today Barnaby_Joyce NOT TODAY!
Barnaby_Joyce
Barnaby_Joyce M_McCormackMP So you LNP members have been in power for 8 years in NSW and 6 years nationally and you are blaming the Greens, a party that is not in power, for not doing enough to prevent fires?
His mouth is at the wrong end of his ailimentary canal...
Does back burning reduce the fuels from treetops? (like in forests) no. After a certain LOW threshold of fuels per hectare, normal suppression techniques won't work (damage will occur). The fire will pull in fuels from tree canopies. Which is why forest fires are uncontrollable.
Sad excuse for a human, man and Australian!
joybelle05 Pig
He needs to be condemned in parliament, this an absolute outrage. Thanks Nee England your man is a disgrace.
What an absolute disgraceful thing to say about two humans who aren't with us anymore. He is disgusting
He needs to resign incompetent and inappropriate
Barnaby_Joyce You need your head kicked in auspol ClimateEmergency
Barnaby_Joyce Disgusting. Irresponsible when Deputy PM. Incompetent as Water Minister Immoral as a husband Insensitive towards bushfire victims. Not much of a bloke.
lynlinking
a MINOR party influenced YOUR mob to slash funding to the fire services? And they made sure your mob has no drought policy? You remember YOU are the special drought envoy of the government? Claiming the dead voted against your mates and doing that caused their own deaths? Sicko.
Who the hell says these kinds of things?!! He’s just beyond, “too far.”
Peter_Fox59
Smells Trumpy to me
We always new he was an ÀRSEHOLE
This is more than just insensitive, it is an incitement to murder. If some rural person, judgement clouded by their losses, believes the Greens are responsible for the bushfires, then I can see a Green getting killed as a consequence of these lies.
TheFeedSBS It’s the Green’s fault? He ignores climate change and all the warnings but it’s the Green’s fault. Beyond disingenuous. Outright lies and filth .
Lets get BarnabysLaw now and stop these idiot politicians auspol
Usually I ignore the imbecile but I'm angered and saddened by his appalling comments.
Signs or alcoholism from BeetRooter when speaking deliriously into a reporters microphone..
DISGUSTING FLOG
What planet is he on?
GreenJ He could be right. With all the alternative lifestyle people who live in those forest areas, it is surprising the Nationals get any votes at all.
What an utter fcukwit he is. What a SHAME the people of New England voted him in again.
This is disgusting, what an absolute disgrace of a man, he should be made to resign for this kind of shit.
Can we throw Barnaby into the fire?
Joyce is a national disgrace and not fit to be a politician or part of govt.
Just retire. This is a new low even for you.
Ok, boomer. Barnaby_Joyce
It's time Barnaby was put down he has the worst case of foot n mouth & should be put out if his misery
That's a disgusting thing to say Barnaby! You should not bring politics into this - unless you want people to look into your role in this!
What an absolute jock-strap he is!!! Honestly... Might as well be saying its their own fault they died. Idiot!
Go and fight a fire Barnaby. Oh, sorry, you are busy being a back stabbing cheating husband
He should be sacked....
Out of 15, 088616 people who voted last election only 7, 344833 voted for the Coalition govt . That leaves 7, 743783 who DID NOT vote for this govt! Who gives a crap who you voted for. You are supposed to govern for ALL of us. You are an utter disgrace to society Barnaby Joyce
How do blokes like this fella get into Parliament. I have never voted for Greens but this remark by Barnaby is despicable
This is straight out of the Trump playbook. Say something that is totally abhorrent and can’t be proven,then issue an apology,these people make you want to vomit 🤮
More likely caused by the overheating from his stupidity and dry, warm, foul breath
OMG this is so heartless can someone please sack him I never liked him iam 23 years old from Perth this is disgusting SarahHarris Joe_Hildebrand I can't believe this Guy is apart of the people that make laws in this country. Iam speechless
If this is not the cruelest most mean statement from this man I’ll not be surprised. Berejiklian and scummo Morriscum day let’s not politicise the fires!!!! Hah! How’s that for not politicising the fires. AND burnaby passively-aggressively states it’s their fault they died.
Beyond contempt.
What, and I cannot stress this enough, the fuck? Was there a memo sent out to all Nationals to intentionally *try* to sound more deranged than usual during the fires?
Good grief.. Hes a dildo of the highest order and he can’t help himself.. But blame lies with those that voted for him. What kind of scumbag sees this adulterous merchant of a human being and says “ yeah, he’ll represent me”
The Beetrooter has brain damage from over consumption in the parliamentary dining room 🍷
Joyce responds to the crisis, ‘Greenie germs no returns.’ Even more troubling are the number of plebs who believe that it’s the Green’s fault that there are ‘no returns’.
NoNonsenseRN He must have used his network to get info about the dead. Ghoulish. And his contempt for the fire services,putting their lives on the line for us, who have said hazard reduction can only be done in safe circumstances and particular weather, made difficult by the drought.
Pig. M
FFS.
Seems like this man has no empathy
I love it when the weather is cold it's not proof theres no global warming, but when the weather is hot its absolute proof of global warming.

misskylie77 Joyce: 'I acknowledge that the two people who died were most likely people who voted for the Green party, so I am not going to start attacking them. That's the last thing I want to do.' Too late, mate. Despicable.
Bizarre, cruel and profoundly depressing Barnaby Joyce
I would think Barnaby's national party colleagues would tell him to shut up...I don't think he is helping their political cause...auspol
Barney taking one for the team. Scomo: “We need to come up with a distraction from the real issues, we can’t have them ask about climate denial, budget cuts and especially our false empathy. Really venal and despicable.” Barney: “Hold my beer....” auspol bushfires climate
absolute disgrace of a human being. proven history of deceit, immorality, immobility (unless chasing staff) but now to minimize the victims of fires his government was complicit in is beyond disgusting. If you weren't so busy kissing Ginas ass you might have time to govern.
Resign. If scomo got off his ass 6 months ago and addressed fire services concerns then this wouldn’t have happened. Liberal governments inaction and fear of climate change caused these fires to become the catastrophe they are today.
Appalling! The mind boggles as to what he was really thinking when he made this despicable comment. Was he trying to say that only Greens supporters die or should die in bushfires?
what. an . arsehole
Time to fade away Barney...
Heartsick at this shameful behavior. Blame the victims when it was due to your inaction on climate and defunding 70million to RFS. Despicable Murderer!
Greens have blood on their hands.
TheFeedSBS MP Joyce's disgusting comment is purely for the purpose of taking attention away from PM Morrison, who is definitely up to something majorly sinister. The LNP all have a roster to announce something intolerable to create a media distraction from their day-today incompetence.
let me guess, he was on the piss when he said it
Carol Sparks is the Greens mayor in Glen Innes who lost her friends & her home which he is well aware of. He’s a total arsehole
COALition cut funding to state & rural fire & rescue & national parks. Then refused to talk to fire chiefs about the oncoming extreme fire season, which has now cost lives. Joyce blames the Greens for the ‘fire trails in disrepair’ that the COALition is in charge of!
Time to march for dissolution and snap election. More now than ever. They are killing us and throwing blame. Corrupted and taking bribes. Stripping us of liberties. Lining their own bank accounts. Enough is enough 😡
Stupid as one can be! No wonder we are in so much mess right now!
What a dumb thing to say.
Absolute scum
He must be so drunk right about now.
please someone oil the guillotine im tired of this
Barnaby who?
Seems like Barnaby has shifted his Christian family values (both sets) to Westboro Baptist Church. NSWfires
What an absolute 💩 is Barnaby. Its amazing people voted for this 💩
The man who makes a dog eating it's own vomit look classy...
why would any Australian listen to this man, he sat illegally in OUR Parliament for 12 years & then kept his illegally gotten salary
Thank you New England.
If he isn't sacked for that comment..... Well, no comment.
apologies are in order for the families of those who died.What a grub Barnyard is.
The guy is an absolute disgrace. We need a mute button in real life
If you thought barneby Joice couldn't get any lower than destroying his own family just for a root.... He blames those for there own death's in the fire's
Gutter politics Barnaby_Joyce. Invoking tragically dead people in a baseless lie to advance your indefensible brand is completely odious.
I suggest yet AGAIN, for Mr. Joyce to SHUT UP! God help us! I blame the idiots who voted for him.
The governments new policy to only protect coalition voters is fairly political.
That maybe true but how many have died or are dying now because of people like him with his 'money is more important than anything else including people & the environment' philosophies/ideologies. We need better people in charge with Science Ethics Engineering. Auspol Grot
chocomagii wat
GreenJ Disgrace. He deserves to be sued for that one.
So we are not to discuss CC at this time but we can make presumptions about the dead’s political leaning & implying it was their fault they are dead. That has to as close to as scraping the barrel as Barnaby_Joyce has got. CRASS thetwodeadmustbegreenies
He's really saying that it's their own fucking fault and they deserved what they got. Right Beetroot?
Time to retire from public life...
How cruel! 9NewsAUS 7NewsAustralia
Lowlife politician.
Just stop talking Barnaby.
Barnaby needs to resign now! You are the govt, have been for 6.5 yrs. the deaths are on your govt only. The Greens are not in power
You are a piece of 's h one t' !!!
Barnaby_Joyce A disgrace! Here are the facts! 'Let it be made perfectly clear that all the area that burned has already been a fire ground for two months. There were hazard reduction and backburns under state authority last month and last yr - Mayor of Glenn Innes
Hmmm.....Joyce has a very low threshold for impulse control both at the bottom and at the top of his body apparently.
New England voters you should be ashamed for voting this man.
This is reprehensible on so many levels. The Nationals have been railing against everyone they believe to be politicising the bushfire crisis while doing the exact same thing themselves. They’ve reached a new low point.
He said after checking they were not from the New England electorate.
Jones: “What is it that professional firefighters are seeing that's happening and why are you guys in particular focused on the climate change issue?”
What a total fuck wit, the greens arnt in government last time i checked.
BJ $250k bonus as the new Fire Evaluation Minister? He will make something out of this, somehow.
Get in the bin,Barnacle!
TJRyanFdn This is absolutely dastardly! How could Barnaby Joyce make comments like that? Has he no compassion? He makes every event an excuse for political confrontation
The race is on within the national party for peak stupidity. Joyce is leading by a nose.
Abhorrent. Resign without a pension
scumbag
ABCFactCheck please
“His claims (sic re less backburning in Winter etc) have been rejected by former NSW RFS Commissioner Greg Mullins who said hazard reduction burns were limited by warmer, drier conditions, rather than policies. “
WHAT? 😳
The lack of intelligent brain cells in this man is overwhelming!
Is this bloke normal ?
So he thinks Greens caused the fires (they didn't) bc they dont support hazard reduction (they do) so those people died bc they probs voted Green thereby contributing to their own deaths. How is this fuckwit still on the public purse? After all he has done and failed to do?
This bloke wants an old fashioned punch in the head

Is this tool for real? Where does Barnaby_Joyce get off making any judgemental remarks towards those whom have sadly lost their lives? Take your political BS elsewhere Barnaby and let those who can’t speak for themselves RIP. politicalwanker disgustinghuman
Truly disgusting man. Not fit to serve in any capacity.
Shameless and very hurtful to the families 🤬😡
Seemingly forgets all of the empty rivers thanks to his disastrous water efforts in the past. The man is a disgraceful fool.
The crap that spews forth from the Beetrooters mouth no longer surprises me in the least.
Barnaby_Joyce You are an abhorrent individual. Give yourself an uppercut then go and apologise to the victims families. When you are done there, go read the science. Here, I'll help you.
Unbelievably inappropriate from the local member. Will somebody from the Nationals please stand up and show some goddamn leadership? Your electorates are burning. Cut the bullshit.
Fuckwit
The slipperyslope into fascism continues apace 😢
Politicising the death of fire victims. This is a new low. Wow.
Peter_Fox59 What a bastard. How disrespectful. These comments breach all standards of decency. This man should be driven from parliament. Let’s see how Morrison and McCormack respond.
Stop saying words, Barnyard. Just shh. Shhhhhhhhh.
Absolutely disgusting.
Barnaby_Joyce getinthebin garbagehumanbeing fuckoff
Isn’t using the bushfires for political gain exactly what LNP didn’t want us to do?
To be completely fair he explained he wouldn't attack them because they're dead, so there's that.
I am 100% convinced that people in power in our government like Barnaby Joyce are undiagnosed psychopaths. I don't mean that hyperbolically or with any exaggeration. These people are incapable of empathy, compassion, humility or remorse.
ms_michellelaw The NSWNationals are a disgrace. They are not a friend of rural & regional Australia. The Nationals are captured by big business. And clearly, they are irrational - basing policies on 'feelpinions' & a small world view. Australia, did we really vote for this? auspol nswpol
which of the 5 stages of grief is talking about who the deceased voted for again
He'll still get re-elected in 2022, though.
What a disgusting thing to say. He really is a pig of a man.
There’s no end to his self serving stupidity and cruelty
Offensive !
Obviously not too soon to talk about it for Barnaby
Absolutely disgraceful Barnaby_Joyce
They didn't slaughter a Lamb and use its Blood to write Voted for the Nationals above their door?
Another heartless, opinionated sackable offence! How often must we put up with this buffoon?
WTAF?
Ah yes but of course it is the Greens who politicise bushfires by calling for action on climate change to combat extremifying weather. 🥴
Does anyone else think he’s finally gone too far now even for the callous LNP? Perhaps this cruel remark is enough to suggest he’s finally dug his own political grave.
How disgusting can you get. So, he can make appalling comments like this but MCCORMACK get his panties in a bunch if anyone dares to mention global warming..
What a horrible human
MSMWatchdog2013 he is a disgusting individual, the remarkable thing is the people of Armidale vote for him!
MSMWatchdog2013 What a load of rubbish. List of causes are. 1. climateemergency 2. Liberal/Nationals inaction on climatechange 3. Deforestation and overlogging 4. Drying landscape due to above 5. People doing things they should be doing like hazard reduction burns at inapproriate times.
Peak Joyce
Using the deaths for political gained is so disgusting!
Barnaby_Joyce can you please point me to moments, articles where the greens in parliament were able to decide when and where burns happen?
GO AWAY ANGRY TOMATO
What a scumbag! So much for not politicising this disaster as it happens. Seriously! Who votes for these nob-jockeys 😡
This is utterly abhorrent. He should be made to apologise.
Joyce represents the lowest moral and ethical standards in Australian politics. The National Party must be very proud of him.
Joyce once again proves to be the most ignorant, most hated politician in the country with his pathetic rhetoric.
Whaaaat?
Sadly firebugs with a political agenda are starting many of these awful fires, very very sad 😪.
Joyce is like the rest of his Party, Making Up Lies On The Run!
Someone sue him. Sue him hard. Litigate his bullshit into the ground and then keep pushing him into the molten core of the earth.
Look at this asshole
