Barnaby Joyce has announced he would not recontest his seat of New England, saying his “relationship with the leadership of the Nationals in Canberra has unfortunately, like a sadness in some marriages, irreparably broken down”.

People are now guessing whether his flirtation with One Nation will turn into marriage.

So does the former Nationals leader belong in Pauline Hanson’s party – and will he be any happier there?

Today, journalist and founder of Rampart News, Joe Aston, on whether this is the end of Barnaby’s turbulent career in politics – or the start of a new chapter.
