A former One Nation MP who left the party, accusing it of acting “unlawfully and without morals,” has warned off Nationals MP Barnaby Joyce.

New South Wales MP Rod Roberts, a former police officer, was elected on the One Nation ticket to the NSW upper house but walked out of the party room after four years, and used parliamentary privilege to accuse Senator Pauline Hanson and others of fraud in 2023.
