Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull is set to jet off on a big airplane tonight on a 48 hour visit to China, where he will speak with leaders and delegates on things such as trade, as well as make official appearances and front various state media events.
In his absence, the role of Acting Prime Minister falls to the Deputy Prime Minister, which under a Coalition Government is always the leader of the National Party.
This means that…
Oh… Oh no.
Oh dear god, no.
It means that this guy…
…for nearly TWO WHOLE DAYS…
…will have a new job title.
IT’S HAPPENING. IT’S REALLY GOING TO HAPPEN.
BARNABY JOYCE
ACTING PRIME MINISTER OF AUSTRALIA
