Barnaby Joyce eyes potential move to One Nation

Barnaby Joyce Considers Move to One Nation

Australian politics has taken a dramatic turn with Barnaby Joyce announcing his resignation from the National Party.

He will not contest his New England seat at the next election, renewing speculation about a potential alignment with Pauline Hanson's One Nation.

"We have had an irreparable breakdown in relations" with party leadership, likening the rift to a "broken marriage."

Joyce's decision comes amid tensions within the Nationals and frustration over the party's support for net zero emissions targets, which he believes undermines regional interests.

Completing his current term as an independent, Joyce is now "free to consider all options" in the post-election landscape, possibly weighing a switch to One Nation.
