One Nation MP Barnaby Joyce has made it clear his party will not just accept any politician who wants to defect from the Liberal and National parties.
“It’s not just because you jump doesn’t mean we catch you. What does that mean? Well, it’s not an open door that anybody who wishes, just walks into One Nation,” Joyce told ABC Radio.
