Meanwhile in Australia:
"For the past week and a half, Australia has been talking about deputy prime minister Barnaby Joyce's affair with his former staffer, Vikki Campion.
And then on Thursday afternoon, the prime minister made an announcement: the #bonkban was on.
After somberly announcing that the deputy PM had behaved extremely badly, "appalled all of us", and caused deep hurt to his family, Malcolm Turnbull went on to announce changes to the ministerial standards.
"I don't care whether they are married or single ... They must not have sexual relations with their staff," he said in an extraordinary press conference."
And that of course led to the Oz twitterati starting in.
