I wouldn't have booted him in the balls, but I definitely would have taken better quality photos/video. Actually I have an idea for a film! Nit quite weekend at Bernie's, but similar...a couple of Canberra youths take the honourable very drunk member around town for more drinks and a trip to the strip club. It couldn't be too hard to inspire some enthusiasm with a bit "up you get big man. We need to keep moving..."

The old gaffa tape to the street light pole with no clothes on, trick.

In his words, Ex Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby was sitting on a planter and fell, wobbly from mixing prescription medication and alcohol. How good is our country, that a serving politician can lay in a drunken heap in public

Doctors prescribe alcohol now?

Would make DnA tests at work interesting..

"Only prescription medication... Scotch, Vodka, IPA.."

DnA testing of pollies going into AND out of a sitting would be funny

It was made worse because he chose to wear his wobbly boots.

Right? It’s very strange, especially after the tanty Dutton threw after the 7.30 interview

They did load up the abc board last time they had a chance. They probably expected some favours be returned.

 

[rockmoose]

They're probably watching it now and thinking it IS good for their image. The delusion runs deep.

Am attempting to watch it now. I think I’m going to have to attack this task in parts, with numerous breaks.

Surely it's un-Australian to NOT be drunk at work?

With Nats and LNP lack of action on this their chances of re-election has dropped further.

Can the Coalition solve the problem of Barnaby Joyce?

Barnaby Joyce’s drunken behaviour has opened a rift in the Coalition, with plans being made to replace him in New England. Ultimately, however, he is too powerful a figure in the party to be disciplined.

A Nightly vote of no confidence in Seven's influence

Media and mining mogul Kerry Stokes clearly isn't happy with the influence of the Seven network — so he's launching a new 'economically conservative' online newspaper from Western Australia.

Just what the doctor ordered for our democratic resilience: more ideological propaganda to distract ourselves from actual truth finding.

By-election in my electorate this weekend. None of the eight candidates are really jumping out at me, so I'll go for my default process of putting the two majors at the bottom, then work through the single-agenda crackpots until the one I dislike least gets to the top.....

Any guesses on who the the former politician that "sold out" to foreign spies is?

I'm going with Andrew Robb after his time with Huawei - and his resignation from that role in the days before the foreign influence register kicked in.
