Barnaby Joyce Considers Move to One Nation
Australian politician Barnaby Joyce has announced his resignation from the National Party and will not contest his New England seat in the next election.
Joyce's decision comes amid ongoing tensions within the Nationals and frustration over the party's support for net zero emissions targets, which he believes undermines regional interests.
“We have had an irreparable breakdown in relations” with party leadership, likening the rift to a “broken marriage.”
Completing his current term as an independent, Joyce stated he is now "free to consider all options" post-election, sparking speculation about a potential alignment with Pauline Hanson's One Nation.
