Seen as part responsible for the Coalition being reduced to a bundle of greasy pork spare ribs in the election , an impediment to the future use of the rotting carcass.
There is a strong belief within the National Party that its leader and former Deputy PM , Barnaby Joyce , does not speak for the bush , regional areas and capital city dwellers. However, he does mumble a lot , and has great difficulty pronouncing the name of the now ALP PM, Anthony Albanese .
Everywhere he went on the campaign trail bagging the ALP, Greens and independents , hammering home the same messages of doom and gloom by ScoMo , Joyce continually mispronounced the Opposition Leader's surname: Called him ALBANAZE.
A stressed Barnaby Joyce staffer, Fred Oink , above , explained the constant mispronouncing by saying it was due to his boss being dazed , crazed, hazed and wearing a new tight cowboy hat, like his mate, pistol- packing Bob Katter from Kennedy , which cut off blood supply to his furry tongue and sweaty armpits.
A body language expert said the above photograph showing Barnaby Jaze grimacing under a brand new cowboy hat supports the claim that his speech impediment is due to a poor flow of blood to his brain during a booze session in an outback shanty pub run by the CWA.
The observation has been made that politicians who make a big thing about wearing cowboy headgear are all hat and no cattle .
