‘Solid performance’: Barnaby Joyce hails Peter Dutton’s ‘brave’ budget reply

Shadow Veterans Affairs Minister Barnaby Joyce has hailed Opposition leader Peter Dutton for his “brave” budget reply speech on Thursday night. “I liked the way he laid down the path towards having baseload power back in our grid under nuclear,” Mr Joyce told Sky News Australia. “I like the way he was brave enough to say that what we had in the Labor Party budget was billions of dollars for billionaires.”
