Barnaby urges people to get checked as he goes under 'the pump'

 The test shows the Deputy Prime Minister is up for the fight of politics, after having recently revealed in his earlier life he worked as country hotel bouncer.

While often testing the pulse of the nation, he chose to check his own pulse at the 2017 NSW Farmers conference in Sydney.

“I urge everyone to get a regular medical check,” Mr Joyce said while at the stand for the rural adversity mental health program (ramhp).

RAMHP are running blood pressure checks as part of their stall when they are at conferences.

RAMHP is a partner with The Land in the Friday Forum and supports The Land’s successful publishing series A glovebox guide to mental health.
