Barnaby Joyce under the Microscope, page-153

Fal; Barnaby Joyce is not a Liberal and the issue is not just infidelity.

The issue is of Joyce's very own creation:
. He has been a moralistic evangelist on Australia's political stage,
. Joyce has made an artform out of gaining political advantage at the expense of the 'infidelities' of other MPs,
. He has forced his archaic personal views down the throats of all Australians with his self-righteous and moralistic sermons on matters ranging from SSM to the behaviour of his political enemies such as Craig Thompson.

In doing so Joyce established the benchmarks by which his behaviour must now be rigorously and relentlessly scrutinised and critically appraised. He deserves neither favours nor the slightest modicum of common respect since he's never delivered that to those he's chosen to target.

It's already my view that Joyce not only fails the pub test, more importantly he's failing the little old Church-going lady test that is the very beating heart of the National Party.
