FORMER deputy prime minister Barnaby Joyce and his partner Vikki Campion are said to be receiving $150,000 for an exclusive interview with Channel 7.
According to The Weekend Australian, the highly sought-after interview with the pair was won by Seven’s Sunday Night program following a fierce bidding war against Nine’s 60 Minutes.

The couple’s six-week-old baby, Sebastian, is said to also be featured on the program.
The couple’s child was born on 16 April and is Joyce’s fifth child, but first son.
Mr Joyce is still married but separated from his first wife, Natalie. They had four girls together: Julia, Caroline, Odette and Bridgette.
Joyce stepped down from his position as deputy prime minister following controversy surrounding his relationship with Ms Campion, who was previously one of his staff members.
It is reported he took a $200,000 pay cut after resigning from his position and returning to the backbench. His salary went from $416,000 to $203,030 and he also lost a number of perks, including access to charter flights and travel allowance.

The Weekend Australian reveals that senior reporter Alex Cullen will be the journalist covering the interview on Sunday Night — a deal he has been working on for months.
Sources say the couple negotiated the deal with the TV network themselves, rather than using an agent.

This is a former Deputy PM making sleazy money out of his lack of personal integrity, and adultery.
