Barnaby's unique way with words

The more I learn about Barnaby Joyce, the more I like him. Not only is he a climate change sceptic with the balls to make a stand against Rudd and Wong's Emissions Trading Scam, he also has an amusingly creative way with words.

Maybe it's got something to do with his ancestry. Just as he inherited this bloke's name, maybe he's inherited some of his verbal talent?

Sure, phrases like "psycho chook" and "spack attack" aren't traditionally Joycean. But they're Aussie, quasi-Joycean.

I look forward to more verbal flourishes from the senator.
