When asked how people feel about the interview, Mr Joyce gave a small teaser about what’s involved on the Sunday night program.
“I’m sure they’ll feel a whole range of ways after they’ve watched [the interview],” he said while still walking.
Eventually Mr Joyce came to a stop to address the Channel Nine team.
“Look, we umm...We tried for privacy and the last fortnight we’ve had drones over our house, we’ve had paparazzi outside the Armidale airport and we’ve had people follow us to Urualla,” he said.
“We tried just burning this out and that didn’t work.”
