CANCELLED Business Briefing with The Hon. Barnaby Joyce MP

Deputy Prime Minister; Minister for Agriculture and Water Resources

 
Barnaby Joyce drew national headlines in 2013 when he announced his intention to resign from The Senate and return to the region of his birth to contest the Federal Seat of New England as The Nationals candidate.

Having pulled up stumps at St George and moved to Tamworth, Barnaby hosted more than 40 community forums throughout New England during the election campaign which enabled him to gather the important ‘on the ground’ opinions and needs of constituents.

On 7 September 2013, Barnaby was elected as the Member for New England with more than 54 per cent of the first preference vote and over 64 per cent of the vote on a two party preferred basis.

He is strongly committed to bringing his passionate advocacy for rural and regional Australians, which has earned respect across both sides of the political divide, to the New England Electorate.
