Barnaby Joyce says Malcolm Turnbull is ‘inept’

Barnaby Joyce has attacked Malcolm Turnbull over yesterday’s comments about him saying Turnbull was ‘inept’ and the comments ‘unnecessary’.

Joyce said the comments about the Deputy Prime Minister’s affair has caused “further harm” to his family.

He also said “I thought that was completely unnecessary and all that is going to do is basically pull the scab off to everybody to have a look at,”

The Deputy PM says he also supports the sex ban.

Barnaby’s comments today and the public scolding from Malcolm Turnbull yesterday highlights an uncomfortable rift in the coalition and a civil war about to breakout.
