‘Great difference’ between Barnaby Joyce and Lidia Thorpe incidents

Sky News host Paul Murray outlines the “great difference” between Barnaby Joyce and Lidia Thorpe’s incidents after she blasted the Prime Minister’s “sexist response” to her. Footage emerged of former deputy prime minister Barnaby Joyce sprawled on a footpath swearing after drinks in Canberra on Wednesday night. “Lidia Thorpe comes out and says it’s a ‘sexist response’ from the Prime Minister because he says it’s a matter for the party to deal with as opposed to her where she should go and get help,” Mr Murray said. “Barnaby Joyce doesn’t shut down the Mardi Gras because of his bad knees thanks to netball. “He’s not crawling around out the front of Parliament House protesting against the right of women to speak. “He's not suggesting that we need to decolonise the country.”
