There must be larger punishments for this kind of rotting. It happens so much, how are we meant to have any confidence in our leaders if they're able to screw tax payers with little oversight?

He Was not even on the invitation list

Repay that money thief

So he’s a Rooter and a Rorter? 😡😡😡

msrose2343 Parasite

Barnaby is a slease and a thief of public money. Greedy bugger.

This is not an issue

How is this relevant to being ‘drought envoy’? It’s not. Pay the money back.

GRUB

miranda_maybe This. Infuriates. Me. auspol

What!

He wasn't officially invited , therefore it was a private trip. Pay the money back Joyce, !! you massive leaner 🤬

MSMWatchdog2013 It's time WA had a Barnaby-proof fence.

Barnaby, Barnaby, Barnaby.

How did the creation of her fake $160/year job just get swept under the mat?

Make it pay it back

I think it's time we changed the expenditure process for pollies and make them pay all their own expenses and then submit reimbursement slips for approval - like most of the rest of the public service employees!!

So if I'm asked to attend a conference/symposium for my work, should I feel entitled to take my whole family with me at the expense of my employer? Where do these MPs get their sense of entitlement? Earns enough to pay from own pocket!

Let Mexico pay fot it. !

No wonder a lamb roasts costs $100, it’s the Barnaby Basting Barnaby_Joyce

Barnaby_Joyce Please explain ! Auspol

Does that mean we get to export Barnaby now we’ve paid?

He's in it for his retirement fund and will milk as do all politicians the system a much as possible, they don't care about us suckers that pay taxes for these parasites, if they did their job we wouldn't be in this mess!!!!

Why is this weapon still in office?

What did we pay for Perky Burke Tony_BurkeMP to take his mistress 1st class around the world. Or him to take the kids to central Australia business class? Lots of abuse not just Barnaby

We are against live exports, get a grip and give us our money back you useless lump.

As a WA taxpayer, and we didn't want him here, PAY IT BACK

metatron100 Joyce is a waste of space on taxpayer money. auspol MSM

we should not pay for that we are opposed to the cruel practise.

He must pay it back

Right wing LNP abusing privileges at every level

I know it’s not fair because lnpfail Barnaby can’t do much else (and supports a big family) but please get rid of him next time ausvotes as frankly we can’t afford him any more. Maybe he can get a job with Gina?

How come he was allowed back?

His crookedness is becoming more and more blatant. He knows his days at rhe trough are limited.

M_McCormackMP BarnabyJoyce On leave May/June, $150,000 interview June, WA July, informal invite only, 'pressing' to go, stated trip 'allowed under MP entitlements'. Due to controversies, a decent MP wouldn't have gone. Just because it's allowable, doesn't mean you take it.

Why did we give the Clinton foundation millions of tax payer money Would be good if you done some research and got back to us on that. Thanks

No taxpayers weren’t charged zip The neoliberal myth of trying to tie federal govt spending to taxpayers does more damage when progressives believe in the nonsense that the right pushes The fed govt is not like a household. Constant taxpayer nonsense is brainwashing the masses

It adds up. Barnaby would have gone and stocked up on some RM Williams gear to look the part. That stuff isn’t cheap. Who says the age of entitlement is dead ?

myknittingwool If it was a pig export conference, did they have their snouts in the trough? roseycatherine

There is a good reason for the “yellow vest “ movement in France. We are just lazy. People like Barnaby and Daniel Andrews know that.

He wasn’t even invited, this is just a prime example of the massive burden on taxpayers these dickheads are!

One of many, what do we get out of these junkets!

Pay it back.

Wondering if Barnaby Joyce meet up with Gina while in W.A. ...you know it’s always good to keep your job prospects open ? Auspol

marcialangton Fuck

This guy is such a flea, sucking us for all he can. And why the hell was she needed?

Well really

jadegrrrl anyonebutnats heres one more reason why Barnaby Joyce needs to go anyonebutnats auspol BarnabyJoyce

marcialangton You think you've got it bad. We just paid 13 million for invisible ships. Mate of a mate. No tenders. No apologies. No accountability. FailingGrayling

Snouts in troughs.... all seen as normal behaviour in the COALition.

Why bother posting this? Is anything going to happen to this guy? No! So why post it sick of hearing how much these wanker politicians get away with.

If it was illegal, prosecute him. If not then stop whinging.

Rorter

he’s a garden variety pick pocket.

Well it’s not really in the same league as events Julie bishop attends with her partner....

😡😡😡😡😡

It’s a Forum ! ..and what if she flew on frequent Flyer points. His accomodation paid for anyway: ...& He represents farmers and their livestock interests & He is doing what he is supposed to be doing for his electorate. He doesn’t represent incompetent CBD armchairs.

Nothing will ever be done about our Pollies rorts, as they all do it!!

Hate the level of entitlement these greedy politicians get and with our hard earned.

And his partners input was?

Didn’t ask him to be there. Didn’t want him to be there. Told him there was no reason. Told him no opportunity to speak. Told him not to bother. Told him a backbencher not needed. Barnaby responded “well I’m not paying, so I’m on the way and I’m bringing the troops with me!”

They don't call him Corruptaby for nothing

As long as they both got on the boat I'll agree it was money well spent.

The question is, as a backbencher, why?

On his AUD300k+ salary Im sure Barnaby can afford to pay his and his partners way.....too many politicians forget its a privilege to be elected and serve...it isnt an invitation to put your snout over the trough! auspol He wont be there long enough to provide benefit to us TP's

Deport them!
