An industry insider has told News Corp the money from the interview will be held in a trust for Barnaby’s six-week-old son, Sebastian. Seven’s Sunday Night program reportedly won in a bidding war with the Nine Network’s 60 Minutes to secure the exclusive interview. The prime minister, Malcolm Turnbull, said Joyce had not breached any ministerial standards because Campion had not been his “partner” when she worked for him. But Turnbull went on to criticise Joyce for exercising a “shocking error of judgment” before banning ministers from having sexual relationships with staff. In late February, Joyce told Fairfax Media: “I don’t want our child to grow up as some sort of public display.”
