Tonight, Barnaby Joyce Will Be Our Acting Prime Minister & People Have A Lot Of Feelings
As Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull jets off to China, today the deputy will be stepping in as acting PM for the next two days- and guess what – that’s Barnaby Joyce.
Barnaby-fucking-Joyce is practically our PM right now. Let that sink in.
As the news reverberates through the interwebs, the people of Australia are afraid, very afraid, and took to Twitter to express their dismay.
You were WARNED! But you thought it would be too ridiculous to ever happen.
Acting Prime Minister, Barnaby Joyce.#auspol
