Joyce must be qualified for something, the question is what?

Many would say “he’s a qualified oxygen thief”; others “he’s a qualified pimple on the arse of the world”.

I say let’s examine the facts:

After persistent probing by the Herald, Mr Joyce has admitted that he may hold New Zealand citizenship, and may thus be in breach of section 44(i) of the constitution and ineligible for election to the Australian Parliament.

If he is, the government may well fall, having lost its majority in the House of Representatives. In that case, the task will fall to its successor.

.

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull strongly defended his deputy during a rowdy Question Time, saying the Government was “very confident” of its legal advice and predicting the High Court will rule in Mr Joyce’s favour.

“The leader of the National Party, the Deputy Prime Minister, is qualified to sit in this House and the High Court will so hold,” he said.

.

Prime Minister Bill English said he was informed about Mr Joyce’s case late last week and according to local law, he is a New Zealand citizen.

.

‘In the event Malcolm Turnbull is not Nostradamus or Perry Mason and Joyce is ruled ineligible, this government is not going to want to fight a by-election.

Barnaby, hardline climate change contrarian, is guilty of so many dodgy doings ranging from his giving the nod to water thieves in northern NSW to giving favourable treatment to his mate Gina to pork-barreling in his own electorate…

..the irony is too delicious.

With this dejected gait, Barny really needs a sign stuck to his arse saying KICK ME.

(And bubbles is tidying!)

ffs

Soapy Sam Brandis says Section 44 doesn’t apply to Barnaby Joyce because he wasn’t aware of his New Zealand citizenship.

(or because he’s deputy PM and WE’RE ON A ONE SEAT MAJORITY!)

Will Barnaby Joyce cling to power over citizenship or show integrity like Greens?

DON’T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU

I could respect your dislike of Barnaby if you had a logical & mature reason.

But your posts are immature & bordering on pathological hatred.

Dare I say – BDS – Barnaby Derangement Syndrome?

Hate masks personal insecurities. Not all insecure people are haters, but all haters are insecure people. Hate elevates the hater above the hated. Haters cannot stop hating without exposing their personal insecurities. Haters can only stop hating when they face their insecurities.

Isn’t this an in jest funny thread and not nasty, surely as a member of a public office and politician you are free game, they dish it out so can expect it in return

That’s a very good point you make Cymek. But I believe after reading Ian’s posts it goes a bit beyond that.

The Liberal party’s response to Barnaby’s predicament aren’t standing the critical thought test.

It’s not all about you, you know.
