Mr Joyce fired up on Wednesday during an interview with AM Agenda host Laura Jayes as he warned it would be"disastrous" for the area.
"They’ve just done a censure motion asking for transparency. Yet they’ve been hiding the direct affects of a document the Labor Party commissioned. The new government analysis shows the closure of coal-powered energy plants in the New South Wales Hunter Region will devastate the economy and cost jobs. Picture: Sky News
Jayes posed whether it could be"prevented", to which he agreed it could but continued to push the transparency remarks he mentioned earlier. "And how sneaky. They had it . And then they just said, 'oh that doesn’t look good, whoop, put that one aside' – so they have the chance today to be honest."
OMG, on first glance I thought it was Alan Jones!
Who owns them? Labor doesn’t, the Australian government doesn’t! Who sold them? Who is shutting them down? Why does Bananaby hate the free market all of a sudden? 🤷♂️🤔
How drunk was Barnaby when this pic was taken?
Where's those drought reports Bananaby?
A report tabled by the government. What a refreshing turn of events. It's not like secretly changing legislation to delay announcement of electricity price increases until after the election or losing it down the back of the couch but you go hard big fella.
That photo should have a warning attached to it
Good lord, he's morphing into Alan Jones!

‘Owe it to the people’: Barnaby Joyce demands ‘total transparency’ from LaborNationals MP Barnaby Joyce has demanded 'total transparency' from Labor after new government analysis has shown the closure of coal-powered energy plants in the New South Wales Hunter region will be devastating for the economy and jobs. The document shows the unemployment rate will spike, indirect jobs will be affected, and wealth will diminish in the region. 'It is incumbent upon a government to be honest to the Australian people,' Mr Joyce told Sky News Australia. The report is called 'Estimated impacts of CFPS and associated coal-mine closures' – it was commissioned in October and has been done by the climate change department. Mr Joyce said the Labor Party has been 'hiding the direct effects of a document they commissioned'. 'What they should do today, immediately, is table the full report,' Mr Joyce said. 'Because they owe it to the Australian people to be direct and honest. 'Let's see if they'll give us the full document so that we can have total transparency. 'Because the people who are going to be kicked to the curb deserve that.' Isn’t this the same bloke who showed zero transparency while in the position of Drought envoy? And the same happened to Elizabeth when Holden's shut under the libs. Bad luck and find new employment opportunities just like others needed to do. 640 jobs linked to those power stations

Labor is ‘trying to bash Dutton up with the sins of Scomo’Liberal Party Vice President Teena McQueen says the Labor Party is “trying to push Dutton up with the sins of Scomo”. “I can’t help but feel a little bit sorry for him,” Ms McQueen told Sky News host Rowan Dean. 'Did I agree with what he did? Absolutely not, but we’re now nearly 12 months on.” TeenaMcqueen If the left over remnants and former colleagues of the LNP were in not responsible for Scott Morrison who was? The left over remnants and former colleagues of the LNP gave Scott Morrison their full support and were responsible for Scott Morrison remaining power.
