Australians are sick of all the ‘lefty garbage’: Barnaby Joyce

of course, is the member for New England.He joins us right now from Danglemar, I believe it is.You're in the shed tonight, mate.You're doing a little bit of work.What's going on?

Yeah, the boys have been mustering today, and so we're just sitting out here.I'll show you, actually.I'll show you.Here we go.The boys are...There you go.

The boys are at the campfire, saying g'day.

That's a great setup.

Anyway, we're just... doing that and I'm finding out where we are with the stock and working out what our game plan is for the months ahead and working out what we're selling and what we're not.Anyway, that's Australia.

Don't love it.I love it.And we all wish we were there, can feel the warmth from the fire.What a perfect place to be.G'day to the boys.All right.

Now, obviously, opinion polls, they go up, they go down.It's a much easier story just to say, hey, Barnaby, are you impressed that everything went better and better and better and better?And then, OK, it tapers out, right?Now, but the media would make it seem like you've lost 15 points.OK, it's margin of error.It's a shaving.

We'll see what happens.Things go up, things go down.But again, it's the media.Even if the worst case scenario here, I say in inverted commas, well, if you're over 15 percent, it's a senator in every state.

Yeah, I'll be straight with you, Paul, and your audience.If we're in the 20s, I'm happy.Yes.And I don't get greedy about it.The Australian people have changed.There's a change in the political dynamic.

It's not unusual to Australia.It's across the world.And it's changed because people are trying to claim back their authority over the executive and they're sick of all the lefty garbage.You can hear about it tonight at the campfire.And that's not, it's not like a put on campfire.That's genuine.

I can see it.You know, swag it out after this and go to bed and wake up in the morning, start mastering again.And, um, the people had a gutful and I think that's across Australia.And if it wasn't one nation, it'd be some other party.And, uh, and, uh,have got to realise that the world's changed.

And it's not only just changed out here in Dangle, Martin, but it's changed in the eastern suburbs as well.It's amazed me.Western suburbs of Sydney, eastern suburbs of Sydney.I should go to the other capital cities a bit more, but they're all the same.They say, mate, well, all these resources, the coal, the oil, the gas, iron ore, why the hell are we becoming poorer?

Now, also, we see that, again, in all of this polling, and again, I always love, you know, there's the term push polling, right, which is pretty obvious.You ask a very obvious question, hoping to get a certain answer, right?And I notice in a couple of these opinion polls, the first thing they ask is a question that clearly I don't hear you guys talking about that very much, right?Like apparently the single and only thing that One Nation cares about is abortion, right?Or the single and only thing that people care about is teenage voters.But you know how they often, and that's all about trying to say to the person on the other end of the line, they're about all these.

A hundred percent, right?So there's a lot of theatre behind the way they ask a question here.I'm not saying fake news, but some of the extra spin on the ball, we can tell where that's coming from.

Yeah, I mean, what it is, it's just the frustration that Malaysian Australia has got itself into.The fact that we should be one of the wealthiest nations on earth, but we're going backwards.The fact that we, you know, the executive has come so much into our life, socialising our private assets, saying you can't do this because of the frogs, can't do that because of the lizards, can't do that because of the moss.You know, you know, oh, let's, you know, all of a sudden we've got three flags, not one.We've got to, you know, you know, all of a sudden our whole lives get tailed and we've got so much opportunity, so much opportunity.We could just be absolutely rocking it, you know, in the world and we're not.

And people are saying, well, and other people say, well, if you go to them, it'll all be terrible.And you say, well, the problem is you guys, you're good people, but you, I don't know, you just haven't got it.You haven't got it together.We just haven't got ahead of ourselves.nation as we should have.And then there's also the social issue.

And people say, oh, they look at Europe and go, oh, that scares me.That scares me. I don't want to be like that.What's going on there?I don't want that to happen to Australia.And that's fair enough too.They're allowed to think like that.

Well, that's the thing.I mean, there really is only, I mean, there is no chance to unscramble the egg.There's only one chance to stop it.your country heading in a certain direction and for whatever version of that that that means to the 28 million people around us there is no shame in viewing the world that way.Viewing the world that there are certain red lines and you don't want it to cross and here's this particular political vessel is the one that I think is going to best serve my version of where the red lines are but It's amazing how, again, what the media was happy to weaponise because it was a way of crashing the libs, it's now about trying to smash you guys in order to keep you all in a box so that the team that tucks them in at night stays in charge.

And you honestly think that the Australian people are that dopey that they haven't worked that out?Australian people are pretty smart.I just love the common sense of, here we go, of those people.They've got it all worked out.It's a case of, and that could be the lady in the coffee shop.They're all the same, they're not dopey.

Paul, they watch you, they watch other things.It amazes you how much they understand what's happening in Australia, and they just understand that We have so much potential that's lost.I had an absolute gutful of the government being in every corner, sort of preaching to them, taking their rights off them.You know, like 20 to 25 % of your house price now, Paul, is regulations from the government.I mean, that's insane.And I'll give you a classic example.

I've got a block near here.Apparently I'm allowed to do anything I like on anything that's blue.I've got to get permission from the government on anything that's yellow.I go to jail if I do anything that's on pink.I go to jail on orange.I go to jail for a long time for anything that's in pink.

You know the only part of my place that was blue that I could do something without the government getting permission from the government?A friggin lawn.Wow.

Yeah, it's not funny.I get it.It's not funny.It's appalling the way that it runs.Oh, yeah.And finally, I've got to ask you here because I did see when old mate PK asked you the other day, the ghost's at it again.

Apparently part of some book tour ripping in.Apparently, you know, this conversation we're having, the one that I have every night, it's just a piss bloke at a bar on a Saturday night.A visual warning to everyone that the ghost is back here.I mean, fine, it's it's an act, but it's a fairly poorly trodden one by now, isn't it, mate?

Well, I just think that, you know, I get sorry for Malcolm Dumoulis.That sounds so weird.Mate, Paul, you've got a heart, right?And it can either beat with love or hate.And it's like oil and water, the two don't mix.And Malcolm, your heart's just beating with hate, mate.

And what are you, 71 years old?Let's be frank, you've got another 15 years before it really doesn't matter.and you'll be alive, but it won't be mattered.So why are you filling up this last time of your life with hate, mate?Because when your heart pumps with hate, all the people you need to love are crowded out.Just give up on it, Malcolm.

Just go back and love your family and stop worrying about this bitterness every time you hear of this horrible bitterness.Give it up, Malcolm.

Yeah, but also just, you know, pick a lane, right?So small it doesn't matter or so big that it is ruining everything.Pick the damn lane.All right.Thank you, Barnaby.Look forward to the chat.

Look forward to seeing you again soon.Enjoy the campfire, mate.Looks like I've got another half an hour and maybe one and a half tinnies left in it.
