PoliticsBarnaby Joyce calls One Nation ‘one of the gayest parties in Australia’ after comments surface

One Nation MP Barnaby Joyce has defended the party by calling it “one of the gayest parties in Australia.” His remarks followed the resurfacing of a video by a failed One Nation candidate for Western Australia’s legislative council. In the video, the former candidate described same-sex attraction as a mental illness. Joyce condemned those comments as “highly offensive.”
