Scotty's out the country, on a goddamn family history jaunt around Cornwall.
The Deputy PM (from the National party) has just been been ousted. There was a leadership spill and now bloody Barnaby Joyce is back in (the guy who said he'd kill Johnny Depp's dogs, and who also left his family to be with his bogan mistress he knocked up (which is what got him booted as the leader of the Nationals in the first place)).
Edit.
It was a sexual harassment complaint that got him booted, not the affair.
