Affair
On 7 December 2017 Joyce announced that he had separated from his wife. On 6 February 2018, The Daily Telegraph reported that he was expecting a child with his former communications staffer Vikki Campion.[53][54] Richard Di Natale of the Greens called on Joyce to resign for "clearly breaching the standards required of ministers".[55] Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull publicly called for Joyce to "consider his own position." This was as much as Turnbull could do under the Coalition agreement, which stipulates that the leader of the Nationals automatically becomes Deputy Prime Minister during periods of Coalition government. Turnbull could not have sacked Joyce unless he was deposed in a National leadership spill.[56] However, Turnbull forced Joyce to go on a week of personal leave instead of acting as prime minister while Turnbull visited the United States. He also announced that the parliamentary code of conduct would be reworded to forbid sexual relationships between ministers and their staff.[57][55] On 21 February, Turnbull ordered an investigation into whether Joyce had breached the ministerial code of conduct.[58] As of May 2018, the investigation into Joyce's travel expenses was ongoing.[59] In February 2018, Turnbull's office relied on a technicality in stating that Joyce had not breached the ministerial code of conduct when his lover was employed by fellow MPs, arguing Vikki Campion could not be considered the Deputy Prime Minister's "partner" at the time.[60]
Alleged sexual harassment and resignation
The Nationals received a formal complaint alleging that Joyce had sexually harassed a Western Australian woman. Joyce's spokesman called the complaint "spurious and defamatory." On 23 February, Joyce announced that he would formally resign on 26 February as leader of the National Party, step down from his ministerial portfolios and move to the backbench.[61][62] On resignation, Joyce lost his Deputy Prime Minister's and ministerial salaries of $416,000 a year,[63] to receive a backbencher's salary of only about $200,000.[64] Regional Development Minister John McVeigh became Acting Minister for Infrastructure and Transport.[65] A leadership ballot within the National Party resulted in Michael McCormack becoming party leader and deputy prime minister. In September 2018, it was announced that the National Party's eight-month investigation into the allegations of sexual harassment had been unable to make a determination, and that the report would remain confidential.[66]
