Barnaby Joyce

September 23, 2006 ·  

I met Queensland Senator Barnaby Joyce this week during his visit to Kalgoorlie. There was a good article in the West Australian today comparing him with Sir Joh, albeit describing him correctly as somewhat more urbane.

The National Party has a massive struggle ahead to survive. Although the Liberals don’t like it, Barnaby’s approach is the only viable one.

The alternative is a proliferation of rural independents and maverick right-wing nutters.

In terms of Western Australia, I think Brendon Grylls is doing the right thing for his party and the State. I don’t know if he has the charisma to pull it off. We’ll have to wait and see.
