Comedian Melanie Bracewell has poked fun at Barnaby Joyce after video footage emerged showing the politician lying on his back on a public footpath after a late night out in Canberra.
The Cheap Seats host posted a witty side-by-side off her draped across the red carpet in a floor length gown after the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Awards on Thursday night.
It comes as members of the public begin to post their own reactions to the shocking incident, which has labelled “disturbing” and “sexist” by senior political leaders.
Earlier, Peter Dutton defended Mr Joyce after he was caught on video and criticized passersby for not checking on the MP’s welfare.
“It’s pretty rough when people are walking past somebody who might need support,” Mr Dutton told Sky News on Sunday.
