Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that A can of beetroot left and found in the spot where Barnaby Joyce was filmed lying on a Canberra street.
“I only know what I’ve seen in the papers, so I’ll have a chat with Barnaby this week and will get a better understanding,” Dutton said.
Echoing Joyce’s wife and others who sympathised with Joyce, Dutton said on Sky News it was “pretty rough” that a passerby chose to film the MP rather than helping him off the ground.
Littleproud said Joyce had expressed embarrassment and added it was his job as party leader to support Joyce’s wellbeing.
Questioned about Joyce’s behaviour at a press conference, Anthony Albanese said on Sunday that people deserved an explanation for what had occurred.
“Well, I think people will certainly make their own judgments on that. People will see that footage, they will look for an explanation that … has some credibility, and they’ll look for leadership from the leader of the Liberal party and the leader of the National party about this,” Albanese said.
“There’ll be further conversations with Barnaby to make sure we put the environment around Barnaby that he needs to make sure whatever challenges he’s got, he’s got the support he needs.”
Asked if he would be demoted, Littleproud said: “No, look we just need to work through this.”
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese urged Joyce to provide a credible explanation and claimed Australians would be looking for Dutton and Littleproud to show leadership in their handling of the incident.
