Barnaby Joyce pausing mid-interview on ABC 7.30 to bellow SIT DOWN at his dog (off camera) is going to be hard to beat for TV blooper of the year

You can tell a lot about a person by the way they treat animals…

Tbh with Joyce's records on dogs, you'd think his pets would have learned to behave

It's not a blooper It's a bloke who just abused his dog on live television Imagine what @Barnaby_Joyce is like without a camera on him. Geezuz H. Christ.... That poor dog.... Living with a vile, abusive creep like that....

Does anyone need any further evidence that Barnaby Joyce is a cunt?

The 2026 version of this classic

Can somebody do a welfare check on this dog? This appears to be a person who shouldn't own animals. @abcnews @RSPCA @AnimalsAus @peta #AnimalAbuse 🚩

This makes me just like him more haha 🤣

Why “blooper”? It’s totally Barnaby. He’s the guy that, you know, became famous for this and it took “no paint” off his reputation. On the other hand if you’re, say, a Guardian scold you’ll probably be confused others are simply amused by it all.

Blooper because, you know, I don’t think he trained his dog to interrupt an interview. On the other hand if you're, say, someone looking to nitpick words, - he actually did lose a fair bit of "paint" after that incident and apologised

“blooper of the year”. We shall see.

LAY DOWN! ..sorry, it's a public drunkard.

Train wreck. Ferguson destroyed him, and he knew it. Angry, fat fucker.

It is important to note, that at the time he was being asked whether Pauline was leading him places he didn’t want to go Cool reaction barnaby

I hope RSPCA are on their way to check on the poor dog’s welfare. 😢 Really upsetting. What a f* **** of a person. 🤢

Not a blooper. He’s an abusive arsehole. I hope his dog is ok

if you’ve grown up on a farm with working dogs you know how normal this is

prick 👹👹👹 imagine what his wives have to put up with 😰

It gave a cracking insight into Barnaby’s emotional maturity but we had to ask…was he really talking to the dog??

The town drunk Barnaby 🥴...shouldn't have dogs...what a prick of a thing he is

He treats his daughters like his dogs. Remember he opposed the HV vaccine, while he was “cleared” from hitting up every woman in rural Australia

Yeah, but was there really a dog there or did he want to liven up the interview to help pass the time?

@Elaineschofiel9 Dog lovers are not going to be impressed with his aggressive behaviour.

@MSMWatchdog2013 I’m appalled that he speaks to his dog like that.

Oh that wasn’t a blooper. Look at the question he was asked before he yelled Barnaby was definitely yelling what he would like to say to Pauline Hanson

Fuck this guy. I have my dogs trained to sit with a single silent finger raised.

Seems entirely reasonable and I don’t envision him yelling at his kids the same way at all

How do we know it was the dog that he was abusing 🤔 Dog or child he's a thoroughly unlikable man.

Barnaby needs an interlock device on his microphone.

So off camera he is a cruel dog beater as well.

Way he spoke to the dog makes me Think he can be cruel?

What kind of prick talks to their animals like that

I’m liking ol’ Barnacles more more these days

Hardly watch this show. Glad I did tonight. What a fucking train wreck.

The dog was probably offering him a drink so that he might be a bit more coherent than when he attempts to be sober.

Um, PETA? RSPCA? You seeing this?

Was he actually barking at Sarah?

TBH thats a level of violence that the man has...and I am glad it wasnt a kid
