Nationals MP Barnaby Joyce has discussed climate change, God and how he's 'sick of the government' in a Christmas message that some social media users have labelled as 'truly embarrassing'.
"You probably wonder what politicians do on Christmas Eve, well when it's drought, [we] feed cattle," he says.
"Now you don't have to convince me that the climate's not changing. It is changing. And my problem's always been with you believing a new tax is going to change it back." Getting visibly angry he says,"look I just don't want the government any more in my life, I'm sick of the government being in my life.""And the other thing I think that we've got to acknowledge is that there's a higher authority that's beyond our comprehension, right up there in the sky" he says, pointing the camera to the clouds.The video has received a mixed response.
