Dear runner,
Mr Joyce preached on the sanctity of marriage - and was very focal about the behaviour of others - while covering up his own behaviour. That is not good enough for a Member of Parliament and a Deputy PM and the political leader of his party. Questions need answering. Such as: Did he abuse his power? - in the fact that his mistress was a paid staff member in his office. Was there a misuse of public funds?. For example - by travelling together for work - when in reality it was to spend quality time together. what were the expectations associated with Mr Joyce's receiving free accommodation for 6 months for himself and his lover from a local and influential businessman. Mr Joyce's portfolio is Transport - and this businessman ownes a fleet of trucks. Also there's Mr Turnbull's actions that are a concern. By evading the question of finding alternative jobs for Ms Campion on two occasions when it became clear her presence was disrupting the Deputy PM's office - government jobs appeared out of nowhere to employ Ms Campion at a salary of over $191,000. She's been on that salary for months. How come? These things can't just be ignored. An independent inquiry needs to be set up to look into all these things to see whether Mr Joyce has been deceiving the public - and covering up on all these points. It's simply not good enough to have this brushed under the rug. Questions need to be answered and Mr Joyce should resign from his office until things are cleared up.

'Mr Joyce preached on the sanctity of marriage - and was very focal about the behaviour of others - ' can you give an example? Whose behaviour are you talking about. Again the reaction of his broken wife and daughters shows what damage unfaithful husbands or wife cause. And this so called 'young' staffer has had a part to play. If he misused his power or funds he should be sacked. I think a number of pollies must be squirming. Parliament house is known for its immorality. Journalist are among the worse. I doubt whether many would want to dig to deep and they might be uncovered themselves Posted by runner, Tuesday, 13 February 2018 3:46:56 PM

Dear runner,
The Herald Sun and other media have pointed out that Mr Joyce can't escape the fact that while he was preaching to others about the sanctity of marriage during the same-sex marriage debate - Mr Joyce was breaking his own marriage vows. The Herald Sun says - We deserve better from our elected officials. Mr Joyce needs to resign. Another example is given in the following link: http://www.sbs.com.au/news/joyce-hypocritical-over-political-attack-ad-tony-windsor In any case it's now up to the Prime Minister and the Nationals to decide Mr Joyce's future.

The ABC reports that a sizeable proportion of National party members want Joyce to resign as leader. A growing number of MPs and senators think that his reputation has badly damaged and he cannot regain credibility.
His greatest asset in the past has been his “authenticity and believability", which is now in tatters. He has no moral authority. The MPs are “tired of ….. phone calls from disgruntled voters. If the man had any moral decency at all, who have resigned as party leader by now. Posted by ttbn, Tuesday, 13 February 2018 5:48:02 PM

believing in the sanctity of marriage is the best for children and the relationship does not make u a hypocrite because of failure. Gillard,Hawke or Shorten would not have reached their heights if that was the case. I think you know that. It looks like he won't survive this anyway.

' No, this is not about taking sides at all.
It's about politicians who don't put their
money where their mouths are and don't practice
what they preach to others.'
and what is it Barnaby preached to others? That he believed it is best for children to have a stable dad and mum. Surely his failed actions and damage he has done to his own family (and lets not pretend the young lady had no part to play) proves his point.
