        Why? The left have had their tawdry romances protected since forever! Why now the outrage for some conservative falling from the matrimonial straight and narrow? Hawke, Kernot and Evans, Burke, Shorten all had dirty infidelities, never revealed!

        You conveniently overlook the fact that Joyce asserted himself morally superior enough to judge gay Australians, fundamentally criticising their character, morality and private lives. So, he's fair game. Besides, it was the Telegraph (a conservative paper!) that revealed all!

        Joyce publicly debated the private lives of others, "in the public interest". If so, the same applies to him - as his actions question whether he is a fit and proper person to hold the position of Deputy, with respect to his honesty and professional conduct whilst in office.

        And the media, including your rag, was complicit. Ironically, though, it was an open secret, given that details of it were flying around on social media for months before msm hacks decided to run with it. And why now, if you don't mind me asking? Because of the espionage laws?

        This is ridiculous. The hypocrisy of the media and society is just phenomenal. Leave it alone. The poor man made a mistake. The new woman obviously wanted the baby so the mistake is now monumental in the scheme of the family. Why do you need to stick your nose in this mess?

        Are you seriously suggesting 'the new woman' wanted the baby? And Joyce simply 'made a mistake'? He cheated on wife and family, breached professional standards of conduct, lied to the electorate about his moral character and beliefs and happily judged the private lives of others.

        The only innocent people in this pathetic debacle is Joyce's wife&their 4 children. They must be feeling like soiled linen right now. How many are wondering if she got deliberately pregnant to push issue,thus guaranteeing her future. Joyce will one day retire on a massive pension

        As did the MSM. But perhaps it had something to do with the MSM not wanting to rock the boat...before the Coalition's cross media ownership relaxation legislation was passed in the Senate...along with reduced broadcast licence fees. Let's just call it the quid pro quo #auspol

        Media were also very compliant and complicit. The Staffer once worked for the Tele, who of Vicki Campion's and Barnaby Joyce's mates attacked those who tried to tell the truth?
