It鈥檚 official. Barnaby Joyce is joining One Nation and will contest the NSW Senate at the next election. Senator Hanson spoke exclusively to 88.9 FM Radio alongside Mr Joyce in Tamworth about the announcement.
Mr Joyce has taken careful time to weigh his future since leing the National Party on the final sitting day of parliament. His decision to stand with One Nation marks a significant moment for our movement.
Senator Hanson and Mr Joyce spent the morning at the Tamworth cattle sales, meeting farmers who urged them to join forces and fight for rural Australia. All Australians want a team that will speak up without fear and deliver for the communities that keep this country running.
Barnaby Joyce brings a depth of experience earned across many years of public service. He has served as deputy Prime Minister a number of times, represented Queensland in the Senate and is the current member for New England. He will be an asset to our party and a strong voice for Australians who he been ignored for too long.
His Ministerial background will strengthen One Nation鈥檚 growing parliamentary force and help prepare our team to take the reins of government on behalf of everyday Australians.
Mr Joyce鈥檚 campaign experience will be welcomed by our members, who are looking forward to working alongside him throughout the election.
Speaking on 88.9 Tamworth Radio this morning, Barnaby Joyce said Senator Hanson is a fellow treller on a long list of issues they both share deep concerns about. Their partnership sends a clear signal. One Nation is building, growing and ready to deliver the representation Australians deserve.
