Labor lashes drought envoy Barnaby Joyce for failing to produce report

Opposition says the lack of a final report from Scott Morrison's special envoy shows the process has been a 'joke'

Labor has lashed Barnaby Joyce for failing to produce a report on the drought after he was made special envoy for assistance and recovery by the prime minister, Scott Morrison.

The shadow agriculture minister, Joel Fitzgibbon, who sought details of any report completed by Joyce through a production of documents order in parliament, said that the lack of a final report from the former Nationals leader showed the process had been a "joke".
