David Littleproud told the ABC he and Mr Joyce had a conversation about the “circumstances” that led to him lying down in the street.
The Nationals MP said Mr Joyce’s behaviour wasn’t “normal” and that he had embarrassed himself and his family.
Mr Littleproud said there were “greater circumstances” to the incident than the public was aware of, beyond the “mixture of medication and alcohol”.
“There’s some family circumstances that his family need to deal with, and I encouraged him to take some time to deal with that emotionally,” Mr Littleproud said.
"To make sure that his family understood that he was there for them but that we were there for Barnaby. That we were going to create an environment for him to be able to address those issues.
Cmon, if you have never been drunk as fuck lying on the ground calling a friend for help are you even Australian?
When I was 15? Sure. At 56 though? No. Shouldn’t be doing that.
Probably shouldn’t have done it at 15 either in hindsight. But kids can get away with that. Adults can’t.
adults can, as long as they arent in the public spotlight
A politician is expected to have greater decorum. You are correct though haha
This will actually make him relatable, and keep him in his seat.
