New Englanders to get some answers from ‘King Rat’ Barnaby Joyce
Barnaby Joyce will address his dramatic defection from the Nationals and his new political partnership with Pauline Hanson in an Australian Story episode airing on Monday night.
Over a political career spanning more than 20 years, Mr Joyce became one of the National Party’s most recognisable figures and led the party three times. That all ended late last year, when he took New Englanders on a rollercoaster of quitting the party, then announcing his intention to quit politics, then announcing he was joining One Nation, then that he would run for the Senate.
It was a shocking turn of events that was taken very hard by the ‘Barney Army’ who had just campaigned to re-elected, as well as many ordinary New Englanders who had voted for him.

Former Australian Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce denies seeking to lead One Nation
Former Australian deputy prime minister and ex-leader of the National Party Barnaby Joyce said he does not intend to lead the One Nation party after joining it at the end of 2025. He said this in an interview with ABC News Australia.
The 59-year-old Joyce represented the National Party for 20 years. He compared One Nation to Pauline Hanson’s fish-and-chips shop, referring to her business before entering politics, and stressed that the 72-year-old party leader should not fear that he is seeking her position.
National Party leader David Littleproud, who replaced Joyce in the role in 2022, does not share these assurances. According to him, Joyce has never abandoned his desire to lead, regardless of which organization he belongs to.
