Albanese Calls for Explanation from Barnaby Joyce After Footpath Incident

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese demands clarity on Barnaby Joyce's late-night antics in Canberra, stirring controversy and calls for resignation.

During a recent incident in Canberra, former deputy prime minister Barnaby Joyce was caught lying on a footpath, swearing into his phone, prompting Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to demand an explanation. The peculiar behavior of Joyce has led to growing pressure for his resignation from parliament. Reports indicate that Joyce attributed his actions to a mix of medication and alcohol.

Inner-city Canberrans took the opportunity to poke fun at Joyce's misfortune with creative chalk art and makeshift plaques. The footage of Joyce lying on the ground, mumbling profanities, has sparked widespread criticism and accusations of a sexist response from the Prime Minister.

Despite the controversy, Barnaby Joyce's late-night stumble has raised concerns about his well-being and decision-making. Questions surrounding the incident highlight the need for transparency and accountability in political figures, especially those in positions of power.
