Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Barnaby Joyce told 9News he simply fell off of planter box and was angry with himself on Friday.
“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.
The prime minister has called for the Coalition leadership to explain the actions of former deputy prime minister Barnaby Joyce, who was last week filmed lying on a Canberra footpath having a phone conversation.
Guardian Australia understands Joyce won’t attend the Nationals party room meeting scheduled for Monday.
On Friday, Daily Mail Australia published night-time footage of Joyce lying face up on the pavement with his feet on a planter box having a phone conversation and uttering profanities.
