Barnaby Joyce slams Anthony Albanese as ‘weak’

Nationals MP Barnaby Joyce has slammed Prime Minister Anthony Albanese as “weak”. Mr Joyce’s comments come after the Coalition accused Mr Albanese of putting his relationship with former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Arden above the safety of Australians. A 2022 department submission has shown the main risks identified in direction 99 were concerns over how the policy would be received by New Zealand. “He hasn’t had the capacity to come in as the boss and to say, mate, I’m dealing with this,” Mr Joyce said.
