        Really? All MSM are guilty of suppressing this story, I've known it for months. @australian and all other mainstream media were told of this during the NE by-election, Twitter was abuzz. The far more pressing questions are: Why didn't you report it in Nov 2017? Why now? #auspol

        Because your #ruperters covered it up. It was well known in the independent media in mid-November, 2017, but it wouldn't have suited #Murdoch to let it out. You are hopeless. #auspolhttps://independentaustralia.net/politics/politics-display/exclusive-barnaby-joyce-peeling-back-the-rumours,10942 …

        All those who had to listen to his pious “family values” comments as justification for refusing the rights of all Australians to get married, that’s who.

        Why did it take so long for Burkes 1st class bonking adventure with his staffer to come out? Was much later re allowances scandal. Why did it take so long for Shorten's affair with Chloe Bryce to come out? Why did it take so long for the pregnant staffer to come out? #mediabias

        Remember the scrutiny Julia Gillard received 'in the public interest'? Scrutiny of Joyce was reasonable in order to reveal his gross hypocrisy on SSM.
