Barnaby Joyce, a long-standing figure in Australian politics, has resigned from the National Party after three decades. Known for his controversial stance in rural politics, Joyce served as a senator and House of Representatives member for New England, leading the Nationals twice. His departure comes after he declined to contest his seat in the upcoming federal election and was seen with One Nation leader Pauline Hanson. Joyces career has been marked by both political triumphs and personal scandals, including dual citizenship issues, a relationship with a former staffer, and recent incidents involving alcohol and controversial statements. As he leaves the National Party, speculation is high about his next political move.
