In short:

  • Barnaby Joyce told protesters at a wind farm protest rally to use their ballot paper as bullets to "say goodbye" to the prime minister.

  • He apologised and conceded the metaphor wasn't appropriate when presented with footage of the rally on Monday morning.

What's next?

  • The prime minister has challenged Peter Dutton to sack Mr Joyce from the shadow cabinet.

"I am not sure what Barnaby Joyce has to do to lose his job," Mr Albanese told ABC's Afternoon Briefing.

Barnaby Joyce's position even even earned him a plaque:

Plaque reading "In memory of Barnaby Joyce being totally fuck arse drunk that time 8th Jan 2024"
