Australian MP Barnaby Joyce shakes off video of him rolling around on footpath while swearing on phone

Meanwhile, Joyce’s wife, Vikki Campion, said she was “half asleep” on the phone call, and was disappointed nobody helped him.

“It’s disgusting that when he was in need they could not even check he was OK,” she told Australian media.

Campion said Joyce wasn’t talking about her when he blurted out “dead f**king c**t” on the phone.

“I think he was calling himself one.”

The witness, however, said Joyce appeared “relaxed and happy lying on the side of the road and didn’t appear to require any assistance”.

It’s not the first time Joyce’s antics have attracted public attention.

In 2021, during Question Time in Parliament, he appeared to slur his words while speaking on infrastructure in regional NSW.

And in 2018 he was ousted as deputy prime minister after a sexual harassment complaint was laid against him.
