Barnaby Joyce goes to town on Jim Molan’s rogue campaign | Sky News AustraliaFormer deputy prime minister Barnaby Joyce is enraged at the Liberal Party over NSW Senator Jim Molan’s rogue campaign to save his career by directing supporters to vote for him, after being placed in an unwinnable position on the Senate ticket.\n\nMr Joyce says Senator Molan’s move essentially calls into question the Coalition agreement between the National and Liberal parties.\n\nOn Senator Molan’s website the text reads, ‘Jim has been relegated to what has been described as an unwinnable spot on the NSW Senate ballot’ and adds that ‘if enough people vote below the line for Jim, we can have him back in the Senate.’\n\nImage: News Corp Australia \n\n\n\n\n Jim Molan nice guy but his actions show everything that’s wrong with lnp. Cohesion is required in a team and he is highlighting the lack of it. Barnaby you should go to town and KEEP GOING. I hope everyone is aware that Barnaby has said he's going to bash Jim Molan at playtime this morning. I wonder if someone should tell a teacher. Rnbreakfast ausvotes AusVotes2019
