        Thanks. This helps explain to me why all our politicians are friendless losers with an agenda against society.

        Oh come on. They know what they are getting in to. Stop trying to victimise them. They are thinking adults aren’t they?

        As an ex-staffer, I have seen the damage done first hand when an MPs private life is used to cause political damage. It is hateful and hurtful to many people. The media used to draw a line here, but now, it seems anything goes. What a grubby shame.

        Pleeaasse these are over entitled people in well paid jobs + extras. ADF and many others go away for months with no benefits.

        Nice defence of your News colleague. Of zero relevance to why it was public interest for us to know about Joyce.

        Is Jack the Insider showing sympathy for Barnaby? Quite a contrast to his nastiness about Julian Assange, who he contemptuously calls ‘cupboard boy’.

        #Joyce thinks Australians are his personal bank account. What an as****e. A typical National politician.
