Australia's ridiculous Q&A scandal has found its way into a third week after prime minister Tony Abbott banned his ministers from appearing on the program.
The PM's office told Barnaby Joyce to pull out of his scheduled appearance, just hours after the agriculture minister said he thought the ABC had dealt with the problem.
According to Fairfax Media, the boycott could last up to three months!!
