The Coalition’s shadow minister for home affairs, Barnaby Joyce, is away from Parliament on ”sick leave” this week and has taken the opportunity to call for a Royal Commission into day time television.

”It’s a bloody debacle, morning show, shopping networks and bloody cartoons,” despaired the member for New England. ”Bluey isn’t even on until the evening.”

”Where’s the midday movie gone?”

When asked why if he was on ”sick leave” did he appear on Channel 7’s Sunrise program, the member for New England said: ”That’s not really work, it’s just me shouting at Tanya.”

”Besides, if I don’t appear who will they get, Angus? Littleproud, please.”

”Anyway, gotta be off, the community nurse will be here soon to give me my sponge bath.”
