I used to have a lot of respect for Barnaby Joyce in the Howard era, but that's long gone - now he's one of the worst politicians in Canberra. However I prefer to judge political issues on their merits rather than on who supports them!
Underpayment is a serious issue, but we have a legal system to deal with that and it can be strengthened i need be. I don't think we should punish all farmers for the possibility that a few of them might underpay their workers.
