'We're pretty cranky at Barnaby right now': Friends of NSW fire victims respond to Barnaby Joyce's comments auspol

Barnaby Joyce’s comments that victims of the devastating NSW bushfires were likely Greens voters have been described as “absolutely disgraceful” by friends of one of the men who died.

Mr Joyce also criticised the Greens for arguing the “spurious links” between the unprecedented fires ravaging the state and climate change. “Everyone is pretty emotional at the moment, but Barnaby’s comments are just salt in the wounds,” Northern Rivers local Aaron Hargreaves said.Mr Hargreaves, 40, who runs a food truck business in the region, described Mr Nole as a "gentleman" who was well known by the local community and made “awesome” gadgets.Mr Hardgreaves said he had spoken to several locals who had voiced disgust at Mr Joyce’s foray into the tragedy.

He added that Mr Nole was likely not a supporter of the Greens, with friends believing he had voted for a micro party in the area.

Stupid thing to say by Barnaby ..just loose cannon stuff

Barnaby Joyce is an absolute disgrace he should resign.

Sorry got to call it. This guy’s a fucking scary man - like really strange.

Surely Bananaby Brain Joyce goes the same way as Abbott & gets voted out at the next election your times well & truely up Bananaby ByeByeBananaby

There are so many snowflakes that get upset Wait to the sun comes out you will melt

He needs to be removed from office as a matter of priority.

Those voter's that VOTED National are responsible for the no action on Climate Water Theft Banks Stealing Financial Fraud Dairy Farmers $1 per lt Milk Aged Care Abuse the list goes on with the LIES & Liberals

This Fool is shifting the blame from his Ruling Government to the victims🤬 Last election results show YOU & Lib/Nat Party won the Election 77 seats to 1 Greens. 😮 Thoughts n Prayers isn’t working, so you point the finger at others💩

Obviously Barnaby skipped that empathy class Morrison organised.

I looked up the interview and listened to what he said in context, and his comments have been made out to be far worse than they actually were. That's the usual story.

Clown ! Greens usually inhabit the big smoke!!!

This will probably improve his primary vote...

He should just shut his big mouth. This just shows anything he does is about making Barnaby important. He's a show pony. New England needs to rethink their support of this guy. He has a personality disorder.

Why aren't you including that the gov took funding from the Fire Service in July & ignored multiple meetings they desperately sought to have? This situation is a direct result of government deliberately avoiding the professionals seeking to help & leaving Firies cash strapped

Barnaby. The gift that keeps giving. Killed the Darling River basin. Doesn’t know who took the water. Blames the Greens for bushfires. In. gov that cut fire fighting services. Family man of high moral values. Stupid tool.

Understandable. Hard working Australians don’t vote for the Greens...only socialists, unemployed and social misfits do.
