Deputy Prime Minister and Nationals Leader Barnaby Joyce has tested positive for COVID-19 after arriving in the United States.
Mr. Joyce told ABC Radio England he had been experiencing mild symptoms and chose to get tested.
"Look obviously (I am) very frustrated I'm going to be locked up in a room by myself for 10 days, but that's part of the process," he said.
"It's probably developing, I'm probably very much in the early stages--but I'm more worried about being in a room by myself to be honest."
Mr. Joyce is fully vaccinated against COVID-19...

Joyce in the US if you read on in the story about the Aussie government's plan for new social media regulations.
'better online protection laws' as he puts it in the story.
The word “China” is never mentioned in any of these stories.
That experimental vaccine (inoculation) really works.
Well he’s lucky he’s in the US. They might send him to a camp in AUS.
I think we should return him to face the music his buddies in his government are playing
Was he doing an investigation for California Meridian Insurance?
Biden is holding a two-day virtual summit of “democracies” involving 110 nations tomorrow and Friday.
110 invitees China and Russia not on the list but also nations like Turkey (Erdogan is elected but..), Singapore (they have a one party democratic system too friendly to China) and Hungary (Orban a democratically elected leader but an outcast to the NWO).
Throw him in a camp.
Earlier this year, Australia was one of the first, if not the first country to stop the media companies stealing news from commercial media, like newspapers, TV station and other media in Australia. Now most of the big international media companies like Google, Facebook are paying a license for material they take from Australian sources.
Now they are trying to prevent trolling on social media sites by anonymous posters. This is being proposed, especially because all of the hate anonymous threats to users (in Australia this is almost always the left attacking the right, as the social media is controlled by the left).
This is a snippet of the article below (I posted the link to the entire article) is from the Australia Broadcasting Corporation (ABC, not to be confused with the American ABC. And the Australian version is even further to the left than the American one, so you have take with grain of salt on what they are writing.
“Under the proposal, social media companies will be required to create a complaints process for people who feel they have been defamed online.
The complaints process will allow people to ask that material be taken down by a user if they feel it is defamatory.
If the user is unwilling to take down the content, or the complainant wants to take further action, the company asks a user for their consent to release their personal details.
If the user does not consent to their details being released, a court order can be made requiring the company to release them — allowing the complainant to pursue defamation action.
Mr Morrison said the government would be happy to intervene in court and take on social media companies trying to avoid releasing personal details.
“We will be looking for test cases that can reinforce these laws,” he said.
“So if the digital companies or others think they're only just going to have to be dealing with perhaps someone of little means seeking to pursue this, then we will look for those cases.
“We will back them in the courts and we will take them on.”
Mr Morrison said the establishment of a public defender's office tasked with taking on such cases was under consideration.”

Best wishes for her recovery.
But I have to wonder how many read this as ‘Barnaby Jones tests positive for COVID-19’ 🤣…like me.
Can true statements be considered defamatory in Australia?
Thank You Australian Government Information Office.
The issue of “stealing” media content was big in the early days of radio.
Here in the US the newspapers got the news wire services at one point to almost completely shut off the flow of their content to the radio limiting it to protect the newspapers use of wire service content during the Great Depression.
But at the 1930’s moved on terms on payment for radio to use news wire service content was reached.
The deal in Australia on the ABC in the early days was that newspapers provided news programs for the ABC which didn’t set up its own news service until WW 2.
The private media companies in Australia today have been given a new revenue stream by the Morrison government perhaps some good media coverage will come out of it from the private media companies for the 2023 election.
That Buddy Ebsen sure gets around
Google threatened to take down their search engine in Australia, but the Government said “Good” and they backed down.
No

Big mistake. He should have just laid low for a few days until he felt better, just as he would have done with a cold.
