Got around to checking the Weekend Oz, and this caught my eye. Yeah, he's sick and yeah, some say I have a morbid fixation with Vikki and Barnaby, but ... ... how often could this 'wholesome nuclear family' be snapped in a Hallmark Cards moment like this? Once a blue photo op?
“Old” family totally erased? So classy 🙄
Wrestle with Big C? Sounds a bit rude to Vikki Campion to be called Barnaby's Big C, 🤔.
I'm sorry, does that say he's 58? Genuinely shocked. I thought he was about a decade older than that.
It's not the years, it's the schooners ...
His extremely boomer attitude doesn't help with my assumptions I guess 😅
Anyone remember Beetrooter talking about how hard it was to support two families on his parliamentary salary? amp.abc.net.au/article/1135...
I sat in a regional airport a few years back watching a heavily pregnant Vikki trying to control a very active crawler (not a euphemism for a drunk Barnaby). She asked Barnaby to push his chair in so she could reach said crawler. He ignored her and continued to scowl at his coffee.
Armidale? Been there plenty of times. In fairness to Barn, if it was an am flight we know what was bothering him ...
Yep true I never thought I’d say this but I actually felt sorry for her. It was short-lived though. I mean have you read her column 😆
Yes. It's my Saturday chore ... bsky.app/profile/ajga...
Which is why I follow you!

Prelude to a leadership challenge
lucky breathing comes naturally for these pair.
Look they’re trying. At least it’s not shot in a beer garden.😬
They're *very* trying ...
The Weekend Oz turns Barnaby’s “family struggles” into a glossy photoshoot and calls it front-page news. Journalism? More like a Hallmark audition. Who knew image management could be this shameless?
Tells you everything about the readers: craving soft-focus PR spin while the real issues get buried. This is Australia’s media—serving up manufactured sentiment and lowering standards by the day.
A few years ago, he was front-page scandal fodder. Now, it’s all soft lighting and sympathy. The same outlets that feasted on the mess are now serving up a reheated “family man” storyline, hoping everyone just forgets the last chapter.
