Jason Koutsoukis joins Democracy Sausage to examine Barnaby Joyce's political future and asks whether One Nation is really a viable option for the former Nationals leader.

Will Barnaby Joyce defect to Pauline Hanson’s One Nation party? Why did David Littleproud allegedly tell Joyce he wasn’t wanted in Parliament? And is Sussan Ley’s Coalition giving Labor too easy a ride on AUKUS and foreign policy?
