Questions over what claim the public has over the private lives of public figures are again to the fore following revelations the Deputy Prime Minister may have had a relationship with a staffer. Barnaby Joyce, who has spoken out several times in favour of "traditional" or "family" values, is reportedly expecting a child with his former media adviser. Questions have also been asked about politicians practising what they preach. Kulasegaram Sanchayan reports in Tamil with a feature written by Andrea Nierhoff.
