In what he describes as a ‘fact-finding mission’, the Coalition’s new Veterans Affairs spokesperson Barnaby Joyce has set out on three-year tour that can see him get to personally know the bar services of each RSL membership within the nation.
“I’ve at all times mentioned it’s essential to immerse your self in your portfolio,” Joyce mentioned, ending up his second pint on the Tamworth RSL. “It’s all nicely and good for somebody to let you know that the XXXX within the Caloundra RSL tastes completely different from the XXXX in Bathurst. However till you go and expertise it for your self, it’s simply rumour actually.
“I imply, I met a man from Griffith, good bloke, who instructed me you will get Tooheys New on faucet on the RSL there. However how do I do know that’s true until I confirm it for myself? It’s primary fact-checking. I’m not going to disrespect our diggers by doing a half-arsed job”.
Joyce mentioned he was at all times keen to do what was required of him for the betterment of his nation. “And so when Peter rang me the opposite day and requested me whether or not I wished the Veteran Affairs job, I didn’t hesitate, though I knew it meant I’d need to spend the overwhelming majority of the subsequent three years consuming piss. I imply, who else goes to do the onerous work of visiting each one of many eleven hundred RSLs within the nation? They don’t name me the nation’s greatest retail politician for nothing”.
