This is an important life lesson. But recognising that your actions have consequences for others is something most should have soaked up by puberty. Even more so if your life’s plan is to have a hand in running the nation, because the consequences for others carries a lot more heft than, say, deciding to be an accountant.
To be authentic is to live by what you profess to believe. In his three years in the wilderness Joyce should have contemplated how he has measured up on that front. Does he genuinely believe his fall was due to the weight of his own actions or does he think himself a victim?In a free society no one forces anyone to profess any kind of faith or sign up to any ideology. But if you do plant your flag on a hill you should expect that people will judge you by measuring your deeds against your words.
At school, and at Mass, he would have often heard Christ’s injunction that he do to others that which he would have done to himself. He would have learnt of the high value placed on constancy, prudence and temperance. It is not an easy path, but it is one that a host of the humble faithful have built worthy, decent lives on.
Any path to redemption must begin with being honest with yourself. And the long way back demands a life that bears witness to your beliefs. That is being authentic.

Nationals party room, not Barnaby Joyce, will decide on climate policy | Sky News AustraliaNationals MP Anne Webster has rubbished suggestions leader Barnaby Joyce will dictate the party’s approach to climate, insisting any policy considerations will be made as a cohesive party room.\n\nCritics of Mr Joyce have warned the ascension of the Member of New England as leader of the Nationals Party poses an obstacle to Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s net-zero emissions aspirations.\n\n“I was very pleased to hear Barnaby talk about this not being Barnaby’s policies but rather the national party room’s policies,” Ms Webster told Sky News. \n\n“Each of us bring our own priorities to the party room and together as a party, we have to come up with policy that reflects all of our electorates not just one electorate.”\n\nMs Webster also backed plans to invest in the development of renewable energy and the Coalition is committed to manufacturing that will “see us have a future”. \n\n“I believe we are investing significantly in the development of technologies around renewables and around clean energy per se,” she continued.\n\n“That is what we need to be focusing on going forward, not causing our regions to go broke, not closing down towns, not closing down industries, but rather investing in industries such as manufacturing which will see us have a future.”\n AnneWebsterMP Barnaby_Joyce They've just had a DillSpill and Webster calls them 'cohesive' ... AnneWebsterMP Barnaby_Joyce 'Nationals party room, not Barnaby Joyce, will decide on climate policy' Hahahahahahahaah... 😂🤣 Boy.... that's absurd.

Former Nationals leader Barnaby Joyce has returned to his postResurrected Nationals leader Barnaby Joyce has vowed he is a “better person” after he resigned in a storm of controversy three years ago in the wake of a romantic affair with a staffer and allegations of sexual harassment that he firmly denies. The women just seem to go crazy for him. There goes the neighbourhood Isn’t it amazing that most Australians are so forgiving and give people a second chance. This guy has learnt nothing except how to bide his time and regain the top job with the salary that goes with it.
