Deputy PM Barnaby Joyce has labelled public comments made about him by Malcolm Turnbull “inept”.
“I have to say that in many instances they caused further harm,” Mr Joyce said on Friday. “I believe they were in many instances inept and most definitely in many instances unnecessary.”
“The reason I say that: it was public knowledge that was being repeated… all it does is reinvest in the hurt that is held by other people.
“I listened to it and I thought that was completely unnecessary. All that’s going to do is basically once more pull the scab off for everybody to have a look at.”
