In short:

Barnaby Joyce told protesters at a wind farm protest rally to use their ballot paper as bullets to "say goodbye" to the prime minister.

He apologised and conceded the metaphor wasn't appropriate when presented with footage of the rally on Monday morning.

What's next?

The prime minister has challenged Peter Dutton to sack Mr Joyce from the shadow cabinet.
