Just as Barnaby Joyce and his wife were on vacation overseas, Vikki Campion, the other woman, ignored warnings and "kept" calling Barnaby Joyce, and even up to 20 calls a day.
This is one of several charges made by the separated wife, Natalie Joyce, in an interview with Australian Women's Weekly. These allegations, however, have been ignored.
Natalie Joyce said she had agreed to stay with Joyce for a business trip to Europe, the last of her last July to fix the 24-year-old marriage.
Obviously Campion has allowed me to go. Natalie told the magazine.
"I think he needs me by his side."
"so I agreed to the condition that Barnaby would not contact her for two weeks, but Campion kept calling Barnaby, sometimes 20 times a day."
A few months later, Natalie Joyce confronted Campion on the streets of Tamworth and called her a "family saboteur," asking former staff to take him.
A few months earlier, Mrs. Joyce confronted Ms. Campion, 33, on Tamworth Street, calling her "a family wreck" and demanding that she be leave Barnaby.

"I was very modest," Natalie Joyce told the magazine. "I didn't yell. She and Barnaby smoke outside. He ran away as soon as he saw me. "
I turned to her and said, "my husband cheated on him. He was a married man with four children, and then I called her a family-wrecking woman."
"it's not my best moment, but looking back, I'm proud of being able to face her."
Within weeks of the couple's return from Europe, Campion was pregnant with Barnaby's son, Sebastian, apparently the name Barnaby and Natalie had for the baby boy.
"it feels like another vicious mockery in a long series of terrible acts," Natalie said.
Natalie lambasted the controversial interviews between Campion and Barnaby, calling it an "absolute shame."
The newlyweds agreed to attend the interview for 150000 yuan, a sum they own in Sebastian's trust fund.
Natalie said she was shocked that Barnaby had chosen to "ignore" her four daughters.
"this raises the question," she said. "if Barnaby agrees to participate in a television interview, how can he let his four daughters be ignored?"
"well, I don't want a penny of the entrance fee," he said.
"all we can do is not throw bricks while watching TV."
