Federal MP Barnaby Joyce has posted a video on social media, declaring he is sick of the government and that respecting God is the answer to climate change. The former deputy prime minister is seen in the 48-second clip feeding cattle, according to media reports. It was posted late on Christmas Eve. “You’ve got to wonder what politicians do on Christmas Eve, well when it’s drought, feed cattle,” Mr Joyce says.

He also says he believes in climate change but that a tax on emissions isn’t the way to go.

“Now you don’t have to convince me the climate is not changing, it is changing. “My problem has always been whether you believe new taxes are going to change it back.

“I just don’t want the government anymore in my life, I am sick of the government being in my life.” He also suggests that unless we respect God “we’re going to get nailed” by climate change.
