Barnaby Joyce, the Nationals MP and former deputy prime minister of Australia, is expected to retain his position in the shadow cabinet despite a recent incident where he was filmed lying on a Canberra street, yelling obscenities into his phone. Joyce has attributed the incident to an adverse reaction to alcohol due to prescription medication, admitting it was a 'big mistake' on Seven's Sunrise. The footage, described as a humiliating footpath video, has sparked widespread criticism and calls for his resignation, with some commentators and news outlets questioning his fitness for public office. Despite the controversy, pressure mounts on the Nationals to demote him, yet he is set to keep his shadow cabinet role.
