Over on the Nine network, LNP senator Matt Canavan is making a public appeal for his mentor and ally Barnaby Joyce to stay with the Nationals (there is a whole thing about how Pauline Hanson cooked the steak for Joyce on a sandwich press – it was Wagyu so everyone is losing their minds)

But on Joyce moving to One Nation, Canavan says:

I want Barnaby to stay in the team. I think it’s much more effective to be in our team. We’ve seen this week what a circus act One Nation is. And it might entertain, but it doesn’t change anything. Ultimately, One Nation are much more about the outrage and much less about the outcome. And that’s what I’m here for. To make real change, make a real difference. I think Barnaby has done that in his career as part of the Nationals party. I’m not so sure it’ll be so rosy if he goes over to One Nation.
