So yeah, our High Court returned a verdict that deemed a number of our pollies ineligible to stand in parliament including the Deputy PM and Johnny Depp tormentor, Barnaby Joyce and his deputy party leader, Fiona Nash.
So now the ruling Coalition government’s majority has been erased pending a by-election in Joyce’s electorate in December. Now the Labor opposition is calling into question the legitimacy of parliamentary votes Joyce was instrumental in passing.
If, and it’s a big ‘if’, Joyce loses his election bid, Bill Shorten might be PM before Christmas. That’d be hilarious.
