Joyce Called Labor LIARS Three Times and Nobody STOPPED Him

Added: 2026-05-31

[00:00:00]The Prime Minister hasn't got the guts to take his toxic taxes to an election.

[00:00:04]>> The leader of the opposition was triggered when I was talking about reducing income tax.

[00:00:10]Immediately you speak about reducing taxes and they get upset.

[00:00:15]>> Barnaby Joyce looked straight down the camera and said it three times. They're liars, liars, they lie. No qualifier, no walk back, just a sitting MP in Australian Parliament calling the Albanese government liars on live television. And honestly, that's not even the most interesting part of what happened. Here's where it gets interesting.

[00:00:34]>> I'd like them to call an election, just quietly.

[00:00:36]Because I think One Nation would do exceedingly well.

[00:00:39]To be honest, tactically, I don't think it's a good idea.

[00:00:42]Obviously, to get a mandate from the the people, yeah, certainly. I don't think the Australian people are going to be very happy with the Labor Party right now.

[00:00:49]I think they would really serve it to them.

[00:00:52]And of course, the Labor Party are not going to call an election because I'd have to call it on the premise that they're liars, they're liars, liars, they lie. And until truth, and we've seen that in the things that they've said before the election, which they completely just, you know, dispensed with after the election. One of the things they dispensed with was the truth. And even today, [snorts] other questions that I've asked that just this this opaque evasiveness when [snorts] they know the answers, they just don't want to tell you.

[00:01:19]>> Joyce didn't just want Labor to call an election. He wants them to call one, and his reason is cold. He reckons One Nation would clean up while everyone else is daring Albanese to go to the polls. Joyce is quietly licking his lips at the thought. But let's back up for a second. What set all this off? The tax hits. Capital gains changes that nobody voted for, new levies that weren't on any ballot paper. Angus Taylor moved a censure motion today, five points, and one of them was brutal.

[00:01:46]That the government taxed Australians more than any other government in history, more than any. That's a big call.

[00:01:51]>> It means that you're being ripped off.

[00:01:53]That's what it means. A person on the NDIS should have the capacity to look at another taxpayer who goes to work and say, "My affliction uh justifies you going to work for me.

[00:02:04]And I'll stay at home and you work for me."

[00:02:07]And if you don't believe that you'd get away with that, you well, maybe you shouldn't be on the NDIS. We have this ridiculous scenario of over 3/4 of a million people are now on the NDIS and it's heading towards a million and the average cost is in excess of $65,000 per person. So, when you look at a person on the NDIS and you think, "I'm going to work. How long do I have to work for to pay for that person's $65,000?" Now, if you're a paraplegic, quadriplegic, schizophrenic, I get that.

[00:02:36]But there are a lot of other afflictions which I would say are minor walking sticks.

[00:02:40]And in life, nobody's perfect. You've got to pick yourself up and do the best job you can. And we just cannot go on borrowing money to pay for people to stay at home because of an ailment.

[00:02:53]Everybody's got an ailment, but it's got to be a major ailment before it justifies everybody else going to work to pay for you.

[00:03:00]>> This house condemns the Albanese Labor government for one, arrogantly misleading Australians about the government's plans for toxic taxes.

[00:03:10]Two, not having the courage to take their toxic taxes to the Australian people at an election.

[00:03:18]Three, taxing Australians more than any other Australian government in history.

[00:03:24]Four, betraying the hardest working Australians who are willing to take risks and who have made the biggest sacrifices. And five, hurting Australians without any understanding of who will be punished and to what extent Australians will be worse >> That was a lot more decisive and yeah, I you know, I I'll mark him up on that.

[00:03:46]Unfortunately, after that he sat down, which you're not supposed to do. You're supposed to continue your speech. When you sit down, that's the end of your speech, and your speech ended with this question. But, um but put that aside. Uh I think that there the Labor Party have provided a lot of material. They're creating a nation where if you're successful, they punish you, and if you put it up against the wall, um you're in a better position.

[00:04:08]People go into business, they buy capital assets with after-tax money.

[00:04:14]They could spend it if they wish, but they are prudent. And they build up a business, which builds up the entrepreneurial flair in the economy of Australia. It works our balance sheets, it makes our nation a stronger place.

[00:04:26]But, if you say to people who are starting off, if you're successful, we're going to tax you, and if you fail, like many small businesses do, tough luck, cuz it makes it a very obvious choice as to what you should do.

[00:04:38]And this they they seem to think that um return on capital is like salary and wages, it's not. Salary and wages doesn't come with the massive risk of putting your neck out on the line with money you've saved in the hope that your business that you set up will get ahead.

[00:04:52]And uh that's what the Labor Party's done. And they say, "Oh, there's rollover relief." Yeah, you got to stay in business for 15 years and arrive at the age of 55 and uh have a turnover of less than $2 million and net assets of less than $6 million, and on and on it goes. And I suppose if you don't tick those boxes, you don't get it. Um and um you know, what what we want is to encourage people to take the risk, like they do in Singapore, in the United States, in New Zealand, because that's how you grow the strategic asset base of your nation, of which one of the greatest components is the entrepreneurial flair of those inclined to take the risk.

[00:05:28]>> And here's the thing Joyce kept hammering.

[00:05:30]They can't call an election, not because they don't want to. Because if they do, they have to go to the public and basically say, "Yeah, we said one thing and did another." That's not a platform, that's a confession. Joyce went further, wound himself up on the NDIS, on capital gains, on what he sees as a country that punishes success and rewards sitting still. Fair warning, some of what he said will make your jaw drop, depending on which way you lean. He didn't hold back, but here's what sticks with me.

[00:05:57]Three words said on repeat by a member of parliament on national television.

[00:06:01]Liars, liars, they lie. That's not political theater. That's a signal about where the next 12 months are headed, and if Labor does blink and call that election early, we'll be having a very different conversation.
